From Me:

1877 Fashion Plate

I'm really not sure on this one.  I think it's a Princess Line dress, similar to the red one in the fashion plate above.  However, it also looks like it could be a 1930's costume dress trying to be a Natural Form dress.  It's not 1913/1914 - I'm guessing the seller thought it was a hobble dress?   The waistline is wrong for that era as well as the sleeves and...really, pretty much everything except the skirt pinned up in the back.  

The more I look at it, the more I think it's a costume and not really a Natural Form so, just be wary on this one...
