Soft and Warm

closeups of Shelley from a spread
from Penneys Christmas 1969 catalog
 
Shelley started modeling in the mid-1960s and appeared in numerous ads and spreads in various magazines and catalogs. One of them was the Penneys catalog (which in the 1971 became JCPenney). In 1969, she appeared in the Penneys Christmas 1969 catalog, in the spread called "Soft and Warm." The spread featured the latest sleepwear women of all ages. Shelley wore the long gown in Fashion-Conscious Black and White Print. The softly feminine sleeping gown had velvet ribbon and cotton lace accents on the neck, yoke and cuffs of the garment. It had a two-button closure at the back and was perfect for those cold winter nights. Shelley looked lovely and ready to turn in.
