Morphology
dollarette + outfit
One constituent ('dollarette') is a nonce or non-dictionary form while 'outfit' is fully transparent; the compound partly signals meaning because 'dollarette' appears derived from 'doll' + diminutive '-ette', suggesting a 'doll-like' or stylized quality. However the exact sense 'fashionable, trend-following ensemble' is not fully predictable from those parts alone and the coined form may be unknown to B1 learners, so the expression is only partially deducible.
Etymology
The noun dollarette outfit may come from the picture of someone dressed like a small, perfect doll, with -ette making that idea sound cute, and an outfit made to be shown. So, the phrase now means a very fashionable set of clothes worn 'to get attention'.
