Quality of Bodyline velvet?

Dear fellow lolitas,
This question has been bugging me for quite some time now... how is the quality of Bodyline's velvet fabric? Does it hold up to their stock pictures? I'm sorta planning on buying the following dress from them (originally a Shinku costume, I know), but I can't find any reviews on it: http://bodyline.co.jp/en/costume768.html

Note: please don't let this become a "This is Cosplay/Ita/all other loli descriptions of awful" debate. I think the dress on its own CAN be worn with lolita, leaving aside the obviously questionable bonnet and the huge velvet bows.
Thanks <3
