[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 723130, member: 51"]Okay, turns out I might have over estimated the weight. Just weighed it, more like 5lbs. It just feels like you are lifting a rug when you take it off the hanger. It is mostly that outer fabric that is so heavy. Almost like a very heavy upholstery fabric. Now thinking this might be a handmade garment. I have a friend who does a lot of sewing and she can look at something in a flash and say handmade or not. But not sure when I will see her next. Also kind of thinking this might have been some sort of ceremonial this or that. Such as "I have nothing to wear for when I meet the Dalai Lama. Better sew something!" Probably am not going to find another which probably makes it not a great resale item.[/QUOTE]
