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!
