The Gentle Suit

Shelley in an ad for Jacobson's, 1973

Shelley appeared in many ads for Jacobson's in the 1970s. In 1973, she appeared in one that featured the Gentle Suit by Belle Saunders for Abe Schrader. The classic American suit was in a softly muted red/white/blue check fabric and bound with French ribbon. It was for traveling anywhere in classic chic. An understated belt, a clutch and wingtip pumps completed her outfit. A cloche hat, button earrings and white gloves finished her look. And Shelley looked downright chic.
