Misses' Dress

a closeup of Shelley from the See & Sew pattern no. 5832 package cover, 1977

Shelley appeared on many package covers for Butterick's See & Sew pattern line. In 1977, she appeared on the cover of pattern no. 5832, a misses' dress. The long loose-fitting dress was below mid-knee in length and had a shaped band collar, a front neckline slit and pockets in the side seams. It also had three-quarter length kimono sleeves, side hemline slits and a top-stitch trim. A self-tied belt made the dress hug the waistline. Gold earrings and bracelets finished her look. And Shelley looked sensational and ready for any day-to-evening affair.
