Take a look at the original sentence again:

You wanted to fix it this way:

The grip of the pantyhose, the stranglehold of the scarf, and the bite of the tight shoes made Rachel want the interview to end; however, she longed for a cotton T-shirt and jeans.

One way to fix a comma splice is to use a semicolon and a conjunctive adverb like however. You must choose your conjunctive adverb with care, though. However is a contrast word, but the sentence above does not require a contrast transition.
