When is it from?

When would you date this? It has the aesthetics of the 1860s, but the skirt seems very narrow. On the other hand it may not be photographed with the correct underwear. Anyway, it's from our city museum and I plan to ask them if I can come and look at their costume collection. It's never on display but it would be really fun to look at them, and hopefully be able to take photos for my own research.

The photo is taken at a meeting for a museum society in 1928. It appears to be too small for her, both the sleeves and the skirt seem a bit too short.
