Hmmm--maybe if she could find one of these:

Fashion Plates

This was an "artsy" toy from the eighties. By using several thin plates (which you aligned on a board and colored/traced over with colored pencils) you could create an woman with interchangable fashionable outfits.

Go to Hasbro Game and Toy Instructions and if you scroll down there's some .pdf files showing how they're designed--would be pretty easy to duplicate if they're not still selling them, though I think used ones can be found online. Another variation on that which is currently in production is:

Hello Kitty Fashion Tracing Plates

Then Crayola's got these:

Heh...

I had one of those! Actually I think we had two different sets over the years...one from the eighties and one that had belonged to my Mom's youngest sister as I recall, and must have been from the sixties. Barbie. Probably worth something now...but I wasn't exactly easy on toys, and then there came the next seven kids...
