Yes! The Dress! 2

from a Woman's Day spread, May 1973

Shelley appeared in a spread for Woman's Day magazine in May of 1973 called "Yes! The Dress". It featured different dresses to wear from day to evening. One of the dresses Shelley wore was a sleeveless dress with a floor-length pleated skirt. It came with a matching casual baseball jacket, knitted cuffs and all. The top of the dress and the jacket were both made from the same knit lace. Hair pinned back, simple earrings, a matching bracelet and heeled open-toed footwear finished her look. Another dress Shelley modeled was a sleeveless above-the-knee dress that had a plain white knitted top and a printed skirt with a shirred waist. It came with a matching long-sleeved jacket (in the same print as the skirt) with buttoned cuffs and button details. A pair of two-toned Oxford-style pumps with medium heels, matching button earrings, a chunky but modern opera-length necklace and a contrasting clutch finished her look. A black wig lent her a cosmopolitan vibe. Both outfits were by Leslie Fay and Shelley looked every inch like a young mid-1970s sophisticate in both of them.

If you look closely, appearing on the spread with Shelley was her future co-star in the Charlie's Angels episode "Toni's Boys" Bruce Bauer. He played disguise and weapons expert Matt Parrish in the episode. Bruce was a busy model in the 1970s, appearing in both print ads and commercials. In fact, isn't that him with Shelley in these pics too? Classy Clothes and The Palazzo Ensemble
