Simplicity Young Ideas 4

closeup 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 "Yes, It's The Dress", which featured summer dresses in softly gathered shapes, in fabulous fabrics and fun trims. Shelley modeled pattern 9885, a mini-dress with a halter top and gathered at the waistline. Rickrack trim was used to enhance the hem of this sweet little summer dress. Matching sandals finished her look. Complementing hair pins and bracelets accessorized her look. And Shelley looked perfectly summer ready.
