Most shawls, dresses and blouses and their packaging will weigh
slightly over 1 pound, but the postal service will charge the 2 pounds
fee. Headpieces,
jewelry and small items, such as small beaded bags will weigh under 2
pounds. Handbags, such as pocketbooks will vary, weighing
3 to
4
pounds. Wedding Gowns may weigh up to 10 pounds
but dimensions may create a 22 pound fee.
