Does anyone sell womens specific frames only?

I hear you on LBS frustration. Where are you? Maybe someone can give you a suggestion, even if you have to drive a bit.

Did she like the Dolce? If not, what didn't she like?

I live in Southern California. There are a billion bike stores here but probably only a handful that know what they're doing.

The Dolce was nice, the problem was the store wanted $2200 for it.

Wow Skunk! The experience you describe doesn't seem too nice. What state do you live in!?

I understand your frustration too, but I really hope she gets to try some bikes. It will make a world of difference! She has to be a part of that project, otherwise she'll quickly loose interest in it (and you'll be frustrated because of the time and effort you're pouring in this...).

Good luck!

She's super excited about it just because she wants to get into better shape and going to the gym regularly isn't work for her.
