Morphology
dollarette + style
The noun 'style' is transparent, but the key constituent 'dollarette' is not listed and appears to be a nonce or derived form (doll + diminutive suffix -ette) meaning 'doll-like' or 'reminiscent of a doll'. A B1 learner who recognizes the morphological clue (-ette) might infer 'doll-like style', but many learners will not know that suffix or the coined form, so the overall meaning is only partially predictable.
Etymology
Dollarette style comes from clothes that look like a doll's tiny dress, with frills, bows and pretty details. One popular image is that these outfits remind people of 'dolls' clothing', so the term now means a 'style of dress' for 'young girls' that is youthful and decorative.
