I found that it is difficult to measure the inseam accurately. When I measured I got a slightly shorter measure than the OP. I did ride a LHT and was able to stand over the top tube, but with little to spare. Maybe the shoes were enough to make a difference.
It is worth her trying one out if she can track one down.
