Looks like a Tudor-ish neckline, 1700's sleeves, a 1990's bridal dress train thingy, an Elizabethan forepart and hoop shape, a 1860's basque waist and a bustle era-inspired gathered back. I believe the Victorians did stuff like this for fancy dress, but what era this one's going for is beyond me! It has something for everyone. But as a foofy bridal gown, it's nice, surprisingly.

Or is this a copy of a movie costume?
