Help me pick out Swarovski rhinestones

This is for my Soon to Be Mrs... tracksuit that my friend is making me. I need to provide him the materials...

First of all how many equals 1 gross?

also - how many would I need to write all that out (last name has 6 letters)

Someone who has some knowledge with this pease check out the websites and tell me which deal is the best (I'm bad at that!)

also - one of the websites says size 20 is ideal for clothes - it looks about right - maybe a bit smaller, like 16 would also work?

please help!!!

That is so cool. I would like to make my own, I would never cause that takes some talent which I don't have.
One gross I THINK is 144. That's a lot of crystal. I am thinking of going with this theme for my wedding. I have crystal on my dress, tiara, and ring bearer pillow I got off of e-bay.
What glue do you use to hold them in???
Good Luck and take pics when you get it.
Thanks for the site.
I love the crystals on there. Anything shiny
