Simplicity School Catalog 1971 D

a closeup of Shelley from a spread
on Simplicity School Catalog, Fall/Winter 1971

Shelley appeared in many sewing catalogs when she was a model. In 1971, she appeared on the cover and pages of the Simplicity School Catalog Fall/Winter catalog. In one spread, she wore pattern no. 9472, a blouse/dress that could be made in three versions. Version 1 was an overblouse with a "dog ear" collar, long raglan sleeves, slits at the side seams and a button trim. Version 2 was the same blouse turned into a minidress with embroidered braid or ribbon trim. Version 3 was the same blouse turned into an ankle-length dress with a top-stitched, contrasting collar and button trim band. Shelley wore Version 3 and looked utterly fab.
