Sew Yourself A Classic A

closeups of Shelley from a McCall's magazine spread, 1973

Shelley appeared on many spreads for McCall's magazine during her Supermodel tenure. In the mag's January 1973 issue, she appeared in the spread called "Sew Yourself A Classic" where she modeled two of McCall's latest shirtdress patterns, now-and-future classics that could be worn from winter through late spring.

She wore McCall's Pattern no. 3482, a softened shirtdress. It was designed with a drawstring waist and a blouson top, which was perfect for figures that couldn't "take the severity of the man-tailored kind." Lightweight cotton corduroy was the fabric recommended; and Shelley's version was made from plaid-printed corduroy. Neutral-colored low-heeled pumps finished her look. In the pic, it looks like she's getting her other McCall's shirtdress ready.
