If you mean burka that covers the face then the problem is solved. She can remove the face veil and wear the black jilbab. But she should not put on anything on her face that will attract attention. 

is permissible for her to wear any colour of clothing so long as it covers her ‘awrah, does not resemble men’s clothing, and is not so tight as to show the shape of her limbs or so thin as to show what is beneath it, and does not provoke temptation. but it is better for her to wear a jilbab.


So no matter if you wear a pants it will reveal your shape so it is deemed haram in addition women are not suppose to imitate men in dress. However, if you men skirt that is loose and that it covers the whole lower half. It permissible on the condition that upper half is covered according the shariah, such as a a very loose sweater or with a jacket that is long enough to cover the back. It should not be  adorned with bright  color.


So it is permitted on these conditions, but if you met the face veil then majority of scholars have said that is permisible to cover if you have no option. She should just wear the jilbab.
