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 So Long", which featured maxi-length summer dresses that could be worn from day to night, from sunny mornings to warm evenings.

Shelley modeled pattern 9927, a lean and lengthy maxi dress with a halter front and bare back. Caught round the middle by an elastic casing, the pattern was made using a printed fabric in muted sea tones. A matching ribbon headband and a gold ring finished her look. She also modeled pattern 9965, another maxi dress. It had a bare-shouldered top with a shirred bodice, a billowing skirt and an embroidered trim. It was made using a gingham-check fabric. Matching sandals on her feet, ribbon on her hair and a butterfly choker round her neck finished her look. And Shelley looked perfectly ready for those summer days and nights.
