This collage is dolly kei, or at least the lighter outfits the shop girls have been wearing of late. I think it's important to acknowledge that not every outfit these shop girls wear would translate as dolly kei if say you or I wore it and tagged it as such online. To a certain extent they are just selling clothing and not necessarily the established dolly kei look. Pics with ① and ② under it could just as well be cpk as they have reoccurring cpk elements, Tokyo Bopper/RHS, and the all white/ off white colour scheme. In general a cpk outfit would have more layering, textures and accessories but not always. Pic ③ looks cpk as well however the vintage floral print brings it more in to dolly kei territory,
In general, dolly kei has a more mature vintage look to it whereas cpk tends to be a more dollyish (ironically) vintage look and uses more kawaii accessories sometimes with more sinister imagery such as doll heads or plain crucifixes.
