Women specific frame

Any suggestions?
The only frame-only option I've found so far has been the Kinesis KM-210L but the sizing jumps from 43cm to 48cm and my wifes current frame is a 46cm.
There are women specific bikes out there but nothing that I've found as a frame only.

She has a 15 inch.
I bought my missus a complete Specilized Myka which I believe is a 17 inch. I'm sure there must by frame only options somewhere, I'll keep looking for you
EDIT - CRC have frames for women specific

It's because there's very little in the frames themselves, mainly the differences come down to the brake levers, suspension (either lighter springs or air shocks) narrower bars, shorter stems and a different seat...
The geometries usually work pretty well for either sex with subtle variations in TT length which are less that you find between manufacturers.0 -
Thanks for the input. Looks like I'll probably look for a frame with a top tube length that matches her current frame.0
