Knit Outfit

Shelley appeared on many Sears catalog issues from the 1960s to the 1970s. In 1976, she appeared on many spreads throughout the Sears Wish Book for the 1976 Christmas Season catalog. In the spread called "Knit Outfits ... to Wear Now and into Spring," she modeled a Floral-Print Jacket-Dress ensemble, a stylish jacket and dress set that could be worn from day to evening.

Shelley wore a sleeveless shift dress with a jewel neckline. It had a long back zipper opening and a modest high neck. It was in a multicolor floral print fabric on a black background. It came with a matching jacket in the same fabric which had long sleeves and was open in front. Shelley modeled the outfit with and without the jacket and looked sensational.
