Shelley appeared in many ads for Simplicity. The Simplicity Pattern Company had been manufacturing sewing patterns since 1927. They allowed fashionistas on the budget and sewing aficionados to create clothes in a reliable manner. In 1972, she appeared in their ad which featured the Swing Set, a home sewing fashion club that presented the latest Simplicity collections.
