The Suits of '73 B

Shelley in a spread for Seventeen magazine, 1973

Shelley appeared on the pages of Seventeen magazine's February 1973 issue. In the spread called "The Suits of '73", she modeled exactly that, suits - "really tailored, really together" that anybody could make. She modeled a suit top, elasticized at the cuffs and waist, over a pair of matching shorts (very modern) which was Butterick pattern number 3052. A white shirt, knee-high socks, a pair of heeled two-toned shoes and a smart hat finished her look. She also modeled a "smooth yellow" pantsuit (Butterick patten 3051) whose jacket had a band that could be tied at the waist. A lavender shirt, matching hose, a pair of heeled two-toned shoes and smart hat finished her look. And Shelley looked absolutely chic in both suits.
