One character which springs to mind is Miss Havisham - she could
really go to town on the costume there. (Fake cobwebs and all).
Otherwise, if she wanted to do something in period - Becky Sharp,
Shakespeare - Lady Macbeth,, Cleopatra. How about Virginia Woolf's
Orlando? Starts off in the Tudor period as a man, which could be
interesting.

BTW: Hope you let us know what she decides on and how it went!
