The girls' dresses look very "Kate Greenway" to me. I am not sure when this style was vogue. The Kate Greenway paperdoll book has a lot of illustrations of those designs.
Kate Greenaway illustrations reflect what the Aesthetics were wearing in the late-1870s-early-1880s. It's not mainstream. The woman was a commercial illustrator, not a fashion historian.
