Matti of Lynne Design 2

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 5677 - a semi-fitted misses' dress. It was a dress with a round neckline, front neckline slit, a blouson bodice and a back zipper. It had a gathered below-the-knee skirt. It had full length sleeves that gathered into contrasting cuffs. It had a contrasting neckline and armhole band trim and a contrasting self-tie  belt. It was a design by Matti of Lynne, a popular label at the time. A matching watch and a matching set of earrings finished her look. And Shelley looked chic and fab.
