I bought a pair of minks that were attached as a collar on eBay for a song. Although the poor things have no front feet, I bought filigree caps for their little heads & back feet. I put pearls in their eye sockets. My mom attached pearl drops on one & rubies on the other. Finally I attached a ribbon, purse handle style, to carry them on my wrist. They are named Ron & Ginnie (as they are members of the Weasley family).

I didn't see where it says that dress is silk. It looks like poly to my eyes. I've seen that material, pre-gathered like that, at various fabric stores. This persons feedback is on the low side and I'm weary of photoshopped backgrounds. (If they photoshopped the background, what else did they photoshop?) It is pretty but I don't think it's something I'd go for.
Now if you want a real amazing accessory for any noble gown (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=sr_list_7&listing_id=16102719) that is it. :-)

That looks like costume grade taffeta to me. Dreadfully hot and itchy stuff.

One has to be careful when shopping for garb on eBay, as some have experienced with unreliable vendors, or poor quality of the product purchased.
There is nice garb for sale from reliable and ethical vendors. Then there are the packaged costumes, more suitable for a Halloween party then faire. Having been involved with the Costume Industry for many years, I have come to recognize manufacturers of the packaged costumes and their accessories.
My experience with eBay has been more for Buttons, trims, and some fabrics, than for garb.
