I`d say around  early 1900`s to early  1920`s,The next style had  short simple shift-like dresses and cloche hats."Flappers"- after WW1.
A younger woman may have been a bit more in fashion so it could have been taken as late as 1920`s.
I`m thinking of wedding photographs when the more mature women were still in the  style fashionable before the wedding date. There are some in my family ,the bride in a 1920`s tube dress  also the bridesmaids but the mature women dressed in the style fashionable some years before.Hope this helps you to have at least some idea of the time.

As no one else has had a punt so far, and bearing in mind it is difficult to tell having no skirt or footwear to help, I would go for early 20th Century..... Edward VII.   :-\

When I make this kind of comment it always opens the flood gates for people telling me I am wrong, so watch this space.......
BORCHARDT in Poland/Germany, BOSKOWITZ in Czechoslovakia, Hungary + Austria, BUSS in Baden, Germany + Switzerland, FEKETE in Hungary + Austria, GOTTHILF in Hammerstein + Berlin, GUBLER, GYSI, LABHARDT & RYCHNER in Switzerland, KONIG & KRONER in Germany, PLACZEK, WUNSCH & SILBERBERG in Poland.

Also: ROWSE in Brixham, Tenby, Hull & Ramsgate. Strongman, in Falmouth. Champion. Coke. Eame/s. Gibbons. Passmore. Pulsever. Sparkes in Brixham & Ramsgate. Toms in Cornwall. Waymoth. Wyatt.

Think Mary Poppins.
Early twentieth century. I’m going for 1910.

I would say late Edwardian as hat size started to decrease. It could be a passport photo or some form of ID card.

Not passport, not allowed to have a hat on, and I don’t think you ever were.
In any case I don’t think, someone may know better, that passports were commonly held until after WW1
