Could this dress be worn in the Victorian era?

Would it be appropriate for 19th century England, during Queen Victoria’s reign?

I suppose you could get away with it.
There are a few things that don’t match the “Victorian Era” theme though.

Like the first answer already said, the top is too plain.
In the Victorian Era women’s dresses usually had some sort of design at the front of the top.
Something like lacing or ruffles.
The bottom isn’t too bad, even though it should have more details.

Here are some pictures:
