Regency. High waist, pelisse. No hoops. Not Victorian. And considering that haute fashion consisted of gauzy dresses with minimal underwear—sometimes dampened to make it see-through—this is pretty good coverage for the period. The painting, however, is an early 20th century “historical piece” painted after Victoria died so it fails on a lot of counts….

It doesn’t matter if it is a bikini, a Regency dress, or a burka. A pile of dirt becomes a valuable mine when someone recognizes where to dig.
