Help dating printed cotton dress

[DaisyandStella]

Hi all - I have a printed cotton day dress that was sold to me as an antique dress, however, I am hoping for some direction here on dating her as I'm just unsure on her. She has a Peter Pan style collar with snap closures down the front bodice into the top portion of skirt. The sleeves also have elastic at the hems - which I have not seen in a true 1900s dress. Appreciate any help on this!

Can we see the snaps, seam/hem finishes?
My first impression is 1970s/80s prairie revival. Possibly a homemade effort to copy Laura Ashley.

Donna I'll send some images when I return home today. Thank you!

1976 Bicentennial and Little House on The Prairie TV show inspired a prairie revival for sure, in the 1970s - 80s. I do think it's odd to have elastic finishings on a dress from 1900. The calico print could honestly be old or new!

Here are some images of the inner construction. Machine sewn.
I was hoping to find some sort of marking on the cotton print but didn't find anything in the selvege.
I am also leaning towards prairie revival - as it just doesn't sit with me that she's early 1900s.
