Matti of Lynne Design 1

a closeup of Shelley from a spread
on the Butterick catalog, 1979

Shelley appeared on many pattern catalogs, brochures and pattern packages during the 1960s and 1970s. In 1979, she appeared on Butterick catalog's November issue. In one spread, she wore Butterick pattern number 5676 - a two-piece semi-fitted dress. The top had a shaped collar, a front neckline slit, forward shoulder seams, full length sleeves with elasticized wrists and a self drawstring hemline. It also had attached self neckline ties. The skirt was flared and below-the knee in length and had an elasticized waistline. It was a design by Matti of Lynne, a popular label at the time. A watch and a necklace-and-earring set finished her look. And Shelley looked chic and fab.
