From Me:

I'm guessing 1870's but it could be 1880's as well. I'm not sure why s/he didn't display it with a bustle - which would have helped a lot- but it's clearly a bustle dress. My guess is that did all of the listing in a rush - hence no measurements as well- and we get to at least see the loveliness.
