From Me:
I apologize for not posting lately. I no longer have internet at work (I'm not in trouble or anything, just don't have the systems at my new desk!) which makes it very hard to post. I hope to have a new computer at home soon.
This dress is more or less likely 1870's based upon the waistline and the bustle back.
