Here it is on an extra at the Duchess of Richmond Ball in Mira Nair’s 2004 “Vanity Fair” – regarding the other especially designed costumes it’s very likely a rent in this one as well. And there are no poofy gigot-sleeves.

Also on a Copenhagen courtier in S01Ep08 of “Gentleman Jack”.http://www.frockflicks.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/GentlemanJack-2019-ep8-023-lister-whiteballgown-ladies.png
Nice, I just spotted it too! There must be others among all those “white” poofy gowns. 🙂
I found a hq publicity image. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/14090219061e28f2d8571b5c1c1040a80eaedc8fab44a11f97f46bbf944ea5ab.jpg
I agree with Anna’s theory that this gown was likely made for a production before Little Dorrit, but I’ve yet to spot it in any of the programs that featured these poofy-sleeved early Victorian confections. 😀
I agree, it has to originate elsewhere. I am sure we’ll run across it somewhere at some point.
