I'm not an expert, but I think the general issues are that it looks like rather rough fabric/style/cut for someone who's from the landed gentry class. This was an era where people like the Bennett girls would likely wear nicer muslin, even if they were at home. The outer gown is... close enough? Albeit looking a tad cheap and baggy. If it's a morning gown, it still doesn't look quite right, mostly because of the layer underneath. They didn't wear shirts with a collar like that. You'd instead likely have stays and a chemise as the innermost layer, and there wouldn't be long sleeves or collar with points on a woman in this time period.

I think fandom's main concern is that this dress looks like something a maid might wear, not the daughter of a comfortably well off gentleman, which is what the Bennett family was. That and the slightly drab color makes them worry that it's going to end up like the 2005 adaptation, where the director wanted to emphasize that the Bennetts were not as rich as Mr. Darcy, so he had them looking rather disheveled and far too informal and they ended up looking like they were farmers rather than landed gentry class. That wouldn't be in keeping with the novel.
