Shelley has appeared on many spreads for many catalogs from the late '60s to the mid-'70s. Many Supermodels at the time appeared in the most popular catalogs as well such as Cheryl Tiegs, Beverly Johnson, Patti Hansen and Shelley Smith, just to name a few. Many models who eventually became actresses also appeared in the same catalogs like Veronica Hamel, Erin Grey, Kim Basinger and Pam Dawber.

Spring/Summer 1972

Shelley appeared on the pages of the the Simplicity Home Catalog Spring/Summer 1972 issue. She appeared in a spread that featured two patterns. Simplicity Pattern 9879 was a mini-dress and bag combo. The simple-to-sew dress had a Mandarin collar and patch pockets. A pattern for a simple round snap-fastened shoulder bag was also included. A matching headscarf and open-toed footwear finished her look. Simplicity Pattern 9880 was a short jumpsuit and mini wrap-skirt combo. The sleeveless short jumpsuit had a front zipper, a high round neckline, contrasting collar and an optional belt. The mini wrap-skirt had a drawstring cord at the waistline that could be tied into a bow on the side. Shelley wore a casual hairstyle and went barefoot. In both outfits, Shelley looked summery and fabulous.
