Help dating wedding gown!

Hello!
Would anyone please be able to help me date this wedding dress? I am considering purchasing it and the seller believes it is "about 100 years old", but the silhouette doesn't look like the 20s/30s to me and there's a centre back zipper!

I don't know what to call the pleated/folded details on it but in some areas they form fleur de lis! So pretty! I thought they made it look Edwardian, but that zipper makes me think it might be late 50s/early 60s...

Also, it comes with some sort of crinoline, or, as the seller called it, an "under-pouf" - my new favourite word!

Thanks so much in advance!

awww, no, that's not nearly 100 years old, especially with that nylon zipper...i mean, sometimes zippers do get changed out over the years, but i don't see anything in the construction that says 20s or even 30s for that gown, it looks more 50s or 60s to me. we'll see what others think.

it is pretty!
