a closeup of Shelley from a spread for Sears, 1966

Shelley appeared on many Sears catalog issues from the 1960s to the 1970s. In 1966, she appeared on a spread for Sears Everything From Spring through Summer 1966 catalog. In the spread was called "The Long, Long Shirt," she modeled a shirt that could be worn in or out, depending on the wearer's mood. The Madras-look Plaid shirt was woven on tones of blue that bled like Indian Madras. It had a long sleeves, a shirt-tail bottom and a pleated double yoke back. Paired with a front-pleated skirt, the shirt and Shelley looked fab.
