Another A-Line Dress

for Simplicity 7459, 1967

Shelley appeared on many Simplicity pattern catalogs, brochures and packaging during the 1960s and 1970s. The Simplicity Pattern Company is the leading manufacturer of sewing patterns and sewing pattern guides which are distributed throughout the world. They have been manufacturing sewing patterns since 1927 and have allowed fashionistas on a budget and sewing aficionados to create clothes in a reliable manner. In 1967, she appeared on the cover of pattern package 7459. It contained patterns and instructions for creating an A-line dress with princess seaming, a high round neckline and a back zipper. It had short sleeves and was above-the-knee in length. Matching footwear, bracelets and a headband finished her look. As always, Shelley looked fabulous.
