Shelley has appeared on many spreads for many catalogs from the late '60s to the mid-'70s. Many Supermodels at the time appeared in the most popular catalogs during the era like Cheryl Tiegs, Beverly Johnson, Patti Hansen and Shelley Smith, just to name a few. Many models who eventually became actresses also appeared in the catalogs like Veronica Hamel, Erin Grey, Kim Basinger and Pam Dawber.

Shelley appeared on the pages of the the Simplicity Home Catalog Fall/Winter 1972 issue. In the spread called "Sure Bet: The Dress," she modeled unbeatable little dresses that were great for fall and winter that season. The sure winners were another way to look great, flirty and feminine when readers didn't feel like wearing pants. Shelley wore pattern no. 5130, a princess-cut plaid dress with long sleeves and crisp white collars that had a matching bowed ribbon. She also wore pattern no. 5176, a tank dress that looked like two separate pieces but actually wasn't. A matching hat and a pair of boots finished her look. Shelley looked fab in both.
