Fringed Jacket

a closeup of Shelley from a spread
for Woman's Day 101 Sweaters
You Can Knit & Crochet, 1971

Shelley appeared on many magazines throughout her modeling career. In 1971, she appeared on the cover and pages of Woman's Day 101 Sweaters You Can Knit & Crochet. It was Woman's Day Super Special Issue No. 4 and it featured not just patterns but tips for fitting and finishing your creations, directions on how to knit and crochet, instructions on how to line knits and crochets as well as giving helpful terms used in the industry. On one spread, Shelley wore a fringed "buckskin" knitted jacket with collar and fringes on the chest, the arms and hem. She wore it over a turtleneck pullover top with matching trousers. A thick leather bucked belt finished her look. And Shelley looked smashing.
