Hello Aaron
late 1880's & possibly into early 1890's,seeing all of it & the back would help.
She looks a Bobby dazzler.

one from me
GUIDE FOR PHOTO RESTORATIONS PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR SCANNER BED IS CLEAN AND SCAN AT A RESOLUTION OF 300-600 WITH THE SCALE AT 100% MINIMUM.

If you would like a coloured version, details such as hair colour , eyes and clothing etc.  if known  would be helpful to restorers

Regards Roy

Not that I would ever, ever argue with Jim...but I don't think those are real kickups to the shoulder seam, Jim, I think they are just a bit of exuberant embroidered trim extending over the top of the sleeve, and also the sleeves are closer to the three-quarter length of a bit earlier. Definitely mid-late 1880s, but I'd put it about 1887 or so....my 2 cents worth :)

What a fabulous lady in a fabulous dress!

Cheers,

Hi Jim, rsinbad & China
thanks for your input. Some details of the photo are as follows.It belongs to my Mother-in-Law.Most of her family came out to Australia in the mid 1800's, so I believe this photo would have been shot in Australia. It is 3 3/4 inches wide & 5 5/8 inches long.It has no border around it.It is quite thick like a post card and the back is white with no other markings.
The tidy & colour is brilliant.
Thank you for your help and comments
All the best
Aaron.
