Simplicity Fashion News was a monthly pamphlet Simplicity came out with to showcase their latest patterns. The Simplicity Pattern Company had been manufacturing sewing patterns since 1927 and had allowed fashionistas on a budget and sewing aficionados to create clothes in a reliable manner. Shelley appeared on the pages of Simplicity Fashion News December 1975 issue. She appeared in the spread called "Past, Peasant, Future", which showcased the peasant look popularized by Yves Saint Laurent in the 1970s. Shelley wore pattern number 7213, a V-neck dress with peasant shawl as collar. It was more higher-waisted than usual and had a very European-style-printed challis fabric for the shawl collar and cuffs. A matching beret and boots finished her look. And Shelley looked chic and fabulous.
