Well sadly the cover image I was thinking of turned out to be a bunch of gladioli (drat!)
Here's two from a 'spring enchantment' feature on hats. Womens Journal, March 1945, both hats feature silk roses.
Let me know if you want the text particularly, as I left it two floors up and...
Am having confidence issues today, lol! Can you help me date this one? I had it down as late 60s but am now confused.. have been dealing with all 40s and 50s lately, and my knowledge of later stuff has been pushed to the back!

My neighbour needs a pair of mens 70s platforms. These are for costume, and need to be relatively cheap! (about £20 max including postage, which I realise may make this a UK request as they wil be heavy - but I think he's getting desperate so just let me know what you have and how much!)

Spangly statuesque 60s Will Steinman:
Toile de Jouy style Horrockses sundress + bolero (sorry I haven't cropped this one!):
And possibly some other things if I can get up to...
Hello Pam, and welcome!
Sounds like you're friend was extremely stylish, and how nice to leave her clothing to you. I can't wait to see pictures :D
