Hmmmm. I somewhat disagree with other commenters here. I think that in some ways, students coming out of college should be given some slack. They're new to the professional world, especially those who don't have money to take unpaid internships (I'm guessing this about her based on the four jobs). Internships are where you learn a lot about professional dress & behavior, and interns are often mentored on this.
I had a semi-professional wardrobe coming out of college mostly because of the sorority. If not--an interview outfit might have looked something like this. I also have trouble with shirts showing too much cleavage (With sweaters, I often wear camisoles backwards, with the tags clipped out, because they're higher cut that way).
Plus, it has to hurt to hear why she was rejected. I think the company was trying to help, but it might have been better just to go with "we went in another direction." Hearing all the reasons makes you want to protest.
(On the other hand, 20 minutes isn't "a few minutes late")
