Hi JessieJen and welcome to Rootschat... the daters will want to see the back including the corners if you have the original.. as it is a dating aid.

Hi jessiejen :)

I would say early 1880s by the dress design.  That would fit with the photographer's dates, according to this site: http://www.thelows.madasafish.com/cards/wohlb_202.htm

Agree with Prue & her skirt length would suggest around 16 yo.
