weightless dress

hi Cat,
not sure what the size of the cotton is, it's from annell max. 100g 550 meter, 30 st and 60 rows on 10cm square, using needle 2,5. I am knitting on 3mm needles. Just got through my 2nd ball, at row 159
It's about 50cm length now. 100 rows to go! So I ll prbably need another 2 balls instead of 1.

I weighted the samples. Even together they wouldn't measure. So they are less than 1 g. Now I need to calculate how much I need for the dress.
I assume the dress has a size of about 1.7m2 that is 2x40x50 for the top, 2x20x30 for the sleaves and 120x90 for the skirt. The little sample was 7 by 13cm, thus 91cm2. I would need about 190 times the sample in size. Thus I would need about 190 times the weight. Assuming the weight is less than half a gram (I weight both samples, the little one should thus be less than half) I would need about 95g for the whole dress.

This makes me think:
