The Free Spirits 1

Shelley in a spread for Seventeen magazine, 1971

Shelley appeared on many spreads for Seventeen magazine during her early Supermodel days. In June of 1971, she appeared in the mag's spread called "The Free Spirits." The spread featured breezy long dresses that were perfect for summer that year - for brides and bridesmaids, for hostesses and guests. It could be worn not just once but wherever there was a party going on.

Shelley wore a pastel colored dress in a rainbow glow - in various pastel shades of gingham, that is. The empire cut long dress had a Peter Pan collar, cuffed long sleeves and a tiered skirt. Matching pumps, a straw hat with a matching ribbon and flowers on tied-back hair finished her look. Shelley looked as fresh and lovely as a new day.
