After all our discussion here, 8-), one does wonder where this came
from-- I mean, who proposed it to McCall's, and who at McCall's
thought it would sell (and TO WHOM!)? I also notice it's on sale for
half the discounted price (about 25% of the retail price)...

How about four centuries of costume quotations...not likely Victorian!!

Is any part of this dress based on anything victorian? Or is this a copy
of a movie costume?
Yeah, sorta, well, kind'a maybe...
Victorian was a pretty big slab of years, covering 2-3 generations
which equals
even more changes of fashion styles.
That sleeve shape was used in some later Victorian but not with that bottom
half; the bustle-like effect of what seems to be rushing suggests something
Victorian; etc.
You can find it if you look but, as question suggests, the thing is not
Victorian per se,
