I did some more research and, yeap, 1850's. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.costumes.org/history/100pages/19th1850s.htm" rel="nofollow">There is a graphic about half way down</a> that shows almost the exact same shape and embroidery design.

The high cut on top of the shoulders also points towards that. Court suits continued in the late 18th and early 19th century style until the 20th century, so an older look was very popular in formal wear. Very pretty embroidery though!ColeVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06677760179064796377noreply@blogger.com
