The buttons look wrong for anything earlier than 1960s. And the fact that it closes down the front with large buttons and machine sewn buttonholes looks wrong for either 20s or 30s.
I'm also not seeing the small details that pre-1960s dresses typically have.

I see 1980s with that collar and the buttons.

I see 60's, mostly because of the fabric. In no way 20's or 30's.

My initial reaction was 1980s as well.

1980s

I agree, 1980s. The skirt tells it all.

There is something that looks late 50s to me about it - that lineny fabric, the details on the cuffs, shirtwaists are big late 50s. It fits in with the sackback styles, and the flouncy hemline makes me think 1958ish... but it could be 1980s too... although I don't like the cuff details for the 80s...

Looks to me like 80s-does-50s.

I think this is early 80s.

Does it have dolman sleeves or evidence of former shoulder pads?
