Shelley appeared on the cover and on spreads for the Simplicity Home Catalog Spring 1973 issue. She appeared on the spread called "Knit Picks" which featured dresses splashed with flowers or scattered with polka dots. They were dresses that came with a jacket but could be worn on its own - pretty separates for that spring season. She wore Simplicity Pattern 5471. It was a mini-length halter dress that came with an unlined jacket. She finished her floral-pattered outfit with matching lariat-length beaded necklaces. She also wore Simplicity Pattern 5529. It was a two-piece mini dress with contrasting sailor-type collar and sleeve bands. A matching summer hat adorned with grapes and matching bracelets finished her look. And Shelley looked spring spectacular.
