From Me:

This looks very homemade to me - probably from an earlier dress. The ruffles on the side are consistant with an early 1930's (1931) date but the waistline is a bit low for fashion at that point - not that many were following fashion given that lil thing called the Great Depression. So somewhere between 1929/1931.
