The easiest way to do this is to build the doll with one outfit. Then, set all of the "clothing" prims transparent, and build the second outfit. If any of the prims are re-usable in the second outfit, set them non-transparent and re-use them, making a note of such. When you're done, you'll have a set of prims which cover the doll in all possible outfits, and you can write a script to show or hide the appropriate prims. This has fairly low prim economy but does have lower lag (the other way is to update the prim parameters in the script, but the problem is that every time you do that the object's details have to be re-sent to the viewer)

If the "doll" you're talking about is an AVATAR then there's no way to elegantly script this that would be any better than just dragging outfits from folders.
