Shelley appeared in many catalogs throughout her modeling career. One of them was the Saks Fifth Avenue catalog Folio Collections. Saks Fifth Avenue is a high-end department store located in Manhattan, New York City, that sells luxury goods. In the Folio Collections: Saks Fifth Avenue Signs of Spring and Summer 1973 catalog, she modeled sporty separates for those cool spring summer months.

She modeled a hostess gown inspired by the East. The red kimono-inspired gown was in a Japanese-print fabric. It had butterfly wings that were edged in black fabric. The waist was elasticized on the sides for comfort and a high and wide belt (edged like the sleeves) wrapped the whole thing up. And Shelley looked like the perfect host in it.

Shelley modeled a second hostess gown as well. This other one was actually a pants pull-on with an elasticized waist. It had a criss-cross halter top that hugged every woman snuggly. It was in a pink/gold/green hand-screened printed acetate crepe fabric that was perfect for those summer parties. And Shelley looked sensational in it.
