Simplicity Young Ideas 2

closeups of Shelley from Simplicity Young Ideas Catalog, 1972

Shelley appeared in Simplicity Young Ideas Catalog in 1972. The catalog featured fashions readers could make themselves - young and up-to-date fashions. She appeared in many spreads throughout the catalog and one of them was called "Spare Timers" which featured outfits that came in two lengths - one long, one short. Pattern 9937 featured a top that could be made into either a full shirt or a mid-riff (Shelley wore the mid-riff version) over a skirt (either long or mini) that could be peeled off to reveal a pair of shorts underneath. It was a very versatile look for that summer. And Shelley looked fresh and fab in it.
