I have an old-design dessert OP (2006, even older releases are made with same material) and the fabric is indeed pretty thin, but it's lined in thin cotton (would need to be to not be sheer) and I think it's still reasonably warm, especially since the elasticated sleeves trap heat. I'd say it's a nice dress for a warm day in a British summer, not a warm day in a Florida summer.

Skirts and short-sleeved cutsews are a good thing but tight jersey knit can also be pretty warm compared to a loose OP. Also Kamikaze Girls is set during the hot Japanese summer, and the outfits she wears in the countryside rather than in Tokyo show how lolitas compromised for the heat back then (no/low petti, parasol, short-sleeved OP, etc).
