In the book, Victorian and Edwardian Fashion, by Alison Gernsheim, there
is
a photo of a woman in a dress with a very similar neckline. It is dated
1845. (plate 14, if you have the book)
Speaking of that book, if you'll turn to plate 11 and look at the 3rd guy
from the left (the one with his hand to his chin) you will see the EXACT
twin of a friend of mine from school who happens to be a genius physicist.
Every time I look at that picture, I suspect him of having invented a time
machine, and being rude enough to keep it from me.
More topically, plate 8 from 1842 also bears a resemblance to the dress in
question.
