Again, I get what's being point out here, but, yeah, again, it resembles clothing that a debutante would wear. I mean, in most Western history, European or otherwise, women were either had 'came of age' or were married. Younger, but not children. 'Lolita' would've been used for a woman of that age.

That's sort of kind of the irony of the book too. Many of her relatives and the ilk used terms more appropriate for a child of her age: 'Lo', 'Lola', or 'Dolly'. You would've used 'Lolita' really to refer to a beautiful young woman... a teenager or someone in their 20's. You may have also used it for your loved one if her name was Dolores. It's an aspect often overlooked. He used a term of a woman close to or of age for a young child.
