Shelley appeared on many Sears catalog issues from the 1960s to the 1970s. In 1973, she appeared on many spreads throughout the Sears Wish Book for the 1973 Christmas Season catalog. In the spread called "Young & Lively Jacquard Knits," she modeled a jacquard printed knit dress that could be worn from day to evening.

Shelley wore a very feminine A-line skimmer dress in a jacquard patterned knit fabric. It had a white ruffle of textured knit that went around the neckline and ending at the empire waist. It had slightly puffed long sleeves, a back zipper and a 2-inch hem. it cam in bright blue and white as well as true red and white, both of which Shelley wore. And Shelley looked sensational in both.
