if you run a search for "steam punk fashion" you may find something similar to what she is looking for. If that is a little too extream then try searching for "Late victorian Fashion" or even "Burlesque Fashions"
Have a look around at the various hits and see if you can narrow down what it is she is looking for and let us know.

As for wearing the outfit out, well just pop over to the Burlesque and Cabaret forum and check the events guide. Dressing up is always appricated there. Chat with the mod there, he only bites on request.
