I really don't know what an "outfit" is, but a simple skirt and blouse would be appropreiate for a general M/L shoot gathering.
If you are looking towards a more serious PC event. You might tell her that young women usually didn't wear trousers back then :shocked2: from what I've been told!
With that said! Crazy Crow and TOW carry patterns.

like i said above, she wont wear a dress. its trousers or nothing
Make her a mountain man shirt, leggins and a breech cloth from scratch.
The shirt can be made from muslin about $2.00 a yard and the leggings from canvas. I would use wool for the breech cloth.
You can make the patterns easily by using old paper bags or freezer paper. Cut the paper into the general shape and tape it all together with duct tape or some other suitable substituion like box tape. Once you have the outfit the way you like it, cut it off with scissors. Be carefull of course. Lay the pattern on pre-washed cloth and start cutting. Be sure to add in seam alowance and your there. The whole making a costume with paper is a very interesting endevor and quite a teaching aide. The pattern of course is re-usable and exactly the right size, no messing around with the wrong size pattern. Don't forget to add a gusset under each arm for easy movement of one's arms. A gusset is a square shaped piece of cloth that adds extra room under arms an in the crotch of a pair of mans pants. Not needed on a breech cloth and leggins of course.
You can do this with any clothing including mocs and a hat. Just make the pattern with paper and tape, cut it apart and transfer back to cloth, leather or whatever.

First things first....how old is she?
If she's under 12 you're ok
I bought a passel of culled tanned deer hides on Ebay for 25$ including shipping. They smelled funny for a while but I hung them outdoors for a few days and it went away. The hides are all gullywampus and holey but they make a great patchwork and I sewed up a shirt pattern outta Walmart Buck a bundle fabric. leggins too. I sewed up a breechclout pattern but when I made the realthing it gave me a heck of a rash, I sewed in a diaper and the rash vanished. I sorta drapped the hides over the pattern...anything outside the pattern got fringed...holes on the inside got patched. Danged if I know if it's authentic but it looks cool. And you get no pics...I'ze fat and I have my pride.
