It depends on how it is used. These are some definitions of dainty:

dain·ty (dnt)adj. dain·ti·er, dain·ti·est1. Delicately beautiful or charming; exquisite: "No dainty rhymes or sentimental love verses for you, terrible year" (Walt Whitman).

2. Delicious or choice. See Synonyms at delicate.

3. Of refined taste; discriminating.

4. Overly fastidious; squeamish.

I would say the top three would define positive connotations. Only the fourth definition could be considered a negative connotation in my view.
