Hmmm, it's hard to be sure from the picture but, I think that one (Victorian Roses shower curtain) has the roses in clusters of up to four. The real one only has up to three roses in a cluster. But, it is close and like I said, it's hard to tell from the pic.
Enjoy making this dress. It's so much fun!

Thanks everyone for the tips. 
I'm not exactly that willing yet to do this outfit but who knows, I might in the future.  And there is talks among some here about them wanting to do it so great to know which direction to point them to in order to get the materials.

This is a good site to look at, But The Padawans Guide has the best links and advice.

I've made a little progress in the past few months. I got burned out on the chainstitch, almost shoved the entire costume in a closet, then changed my plan on the dress completely. I'm still chainstitching, but decided not to put it or sequins on the blouse.
I then worked on the cape and brooch.
I'm currently finishing up the headband.
Most of the in-progress pictures can be found here.
I'm getting there! I've given myself a deadline of August 1 to finish. I don't think I'd get it finished otherwise.

How does $4.50 a yard of 54 inch wide embroidered shawl fabic sound?
There is a sheer nylon with a dead match for the shawl 3 rose embroidery and the vines.
It was at $9 a yard before any sales in my area.
As it is a red tag fabric, though, the SKU tracking number is re-used for multiple patterns and contents of embroidered sheer fabrics.
For what is worth, here is the end bolt SKU number and information:
943-0406 Red Tag PPK Spcl Occasion 54 inch
Shawl fabric in "Red Tag" section at Jo-Ann's fabrics
Plus, starting Sunday, April 13, all Red Tag fabrics are 50% off

So the fabric is at Jo-Ann's? I searched online and couldn't find it.

Maybe since it's a Sale/Red Tag Fabric, it's only available at the physical store?
Ugh! I'll love to get it but due to some personal problems, I have to cut back on getting materials for costumes I'm not even 50% sure I'm willing to do. Thanks to someone "next door", I have a high standard to beat.

This might be the polyester organza fabric JoAnn's had a few years ago. If that's the case, the stuff may be nearly impossible to dye if my memory serves me correctly.
