Help dating a Victorian / 1800s blouse!

By looking at pictures, I was thinking this blouse was possibly somewhat early 1800s, but then saw more pictures that made me think maybe 1880s? This really predates my clothing knowledge :)

Anyone think they can help give me a more narrowed down time frame?

Thanks!!

Hi Birdie, interesting piece - I can see a lot of hand finishing but not close enough to see whether it's entirely hand sewn. Are you able to tell, or if not, can you please post a clear close up of one of the seams? Thank you.
 
Yes, it does have a lot of hand stitching, but their are some machine stitches as well. Hope these pics are clear enough
