We have several tintypes and CDVs in our education resources.  These are anonymous, no provenance images, so we can use them differently than stuff in the archives.  I know zilch about infant clothing, so here is the the little jelly bean that I'm having a hard time placing in... time.  Click here for a larger image: http://www.flickr.com/photos/benjclark/3751748449/ (click all sizes at the top)

According to the book Ohio Photographers, Tresize operated his photograph and stereocope studio in Zanesville from 1860-61 and possibly as late as 1870.  He was also a daguerrotypist and in 1859 worked with a partner, Joquay (which I assume means that images from this period would bear both names rather than the solo one on yours).

His dress says postwar to me.  The skirt is flat in front and appears not very full and more A-line in shape. And the sleeves are 3/4 length and slim. So maybe as late as 1870

I agree with Marta--his outfit looks very much like some of the sweet A-line styles that come in very late 1860s/1870s

Thanks everybody!  I have more to come.  This particular image is a group of several tintypes and cdvs from Zanesville, OH.  Probably part of a family album.
