Velveteen Skirts and Pantsuits

Shelley in a spread for Sears Wish Book For The 1975 Christmas Season

Shelley appeared in many catalogs for Sears in the 1970s. In 1975, she appeared in the Sears Wish Book For The 1975 Christmas Season catalog. She appeared in the spreads called "Soft Pretty Blouses To Go With Velveteen Skirts" and "Pantsuits Knit Of Orlon Acrylic."

She wore the Solid-Color Blouse - which had long sleeves, was trimmed with a front inset of cotton lace and was shirred at the shoulders and above the button cuffs - over the Solid-Color Skirt - which was a flared, 4-gore style skirt of cotton velveteen. A necklace finished her look and Shelley looked fab.

She wore a couple of knit pantsuits that were great for day or evening. Both pullover-style tops were printed and had long sleeves; but one had a turtleneck, while one had a V-neck with collar. Both were worn over smooth-textured pants that had elasticized waists and slightly flared legs. And Shelley looked sensational in both.
