From Me:

Again, sellers, don't put "wedding" in unless you can document it was a wedding gown. White does not mean wedding - I've mentioned before that I wore a white lace dress to my prom, does that mean it's a wedding gown? I certainly hope not! /facepalm

1916 Fashion Plate by the House of Worth

The sleeves, the way the bodice has that one piece extending towards the right, the length, and even the neckline are all very much mid Teen's fashion, not Edwardian.
