I'm pretty sure they mean the book "Lolita", as in a narrative where a man sexualizes a 12 yr old girl. It's unfortunate/poor taste that a fashion style decided to take it's name from that.
But here's the thing: given the fashion style exists as a separate entity known by many people that are on the internet, and referring to something as "Lolita-inspired" to refer to clothes is only ever used in the context of the fashion. What sort of clothes are "Lolita-inspired" in the context of the book? I don't think there's any sexualised clothing that anyone thinks of as pedophilic thanks to the book, but especially not anything someone would try to draw on a dragon.
DA the only thing I can think of is the use of red/pink heart glasses and a lollipop which is on a lot of covers of the book. I've never read it so I wouldn't know if that's like something actually in the book but in the surface level research I've done it's not an uncommon visual shorthand for the book and the character.
