Sew Yourself A Classic B

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 another softened shirtdress. It had a button-front, full sleeves and a flaring collar. The skirt had deep kick pleats that gave it an A-line feeling and low flapped pockets. It was a dress that could be worn all year round. Plus, it traveled well, too. It was McCall's pattern no. 3480 and 3481. Neutral-colored low-heeled pumps finished her look. In the pic, it looks like she's done and checking if she got the pattern right.
