a closeup of Shelley from a spread
on Simplicity Fashion News, August 1972
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 in a spread
for Simplicity Fashion News, August 1972
Shelley appeared on the pages of Simplicity Fashion News, the August 1972 issue. In the spread called "Pants to Sew Right Now with New Partners", she modeled pattern number 5139 which included a pair of pants, a blouse and a pullover style top sized for knits. The set also included a pattern for a bias-skirt. Matching shoes an a cute hear-buckled belt finished her look. Shelley looked young and fresh in her contemporary '70s duds.
