More Summer Treats To Sew

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. Aside from the pamphlets, they came out with books, magazines and pattern packages.

Shelley appeared on the pages of Simplicity Fashion News, the August 1972 issue. In the spread called "More Summer Treats To Sew Right Now", she modeled the wrap-and-tie blouse with open collar and cool fluttering capelet sleeves. A matching summer white skirt, sunglasses and watch finished her look. And Shelley looked fresh and ready for all those summer activities.
