Need Help Identifying Clothing in Tintype Picture

[Championhilz]

Can anyone ID the approximate date this tintype was taken from the clothing this family is wearing? Any help would be most appreciated!

The woman's dress has some typical features of just post-war, like the way the bodice continues below the belt. My not-very-educated knee-jerk guess: second half of the 1860s. I'm curious what others say, with more specifics.

Based on her hair style, her dress and the way she is wearing her watch chain slide close to her neck, I believe it is very late '60's to early '70's.
