Crochet Bolero Suit

a closeup of Shelley from Fashion News Coats and Clark's Book No.206, 1970

Shelley appeared in many spreads for the 1970 booklet Fashion News Coats and Clark's Book No.206 - Coats and Clark's is a company that manufactures thread, yarn and the like and had been coming out with sewing booklets as well. In one spread, she modeled the crochet bolero suit. The sleeveless bolero top had a laced-up closing and a short slightly flaring skirt. She wore it over an embroidered peasant-inspired top with a ruffled collar and bishop sleeves that were flounced at the wrist. A scarf on her head and braided hair finished her look. And Shelley looked fabulous.
