In 1971, Shelley appeared on the pages of the fall issue of 1001 Fashion & Needlecraft Ideas. The magazine came out twice a year and contained the latest fashions, accessories, home décor and more that readers could sew, knit and crochet themselves. In the issue, Shelley appeared on the spread called "Knits Take A Trimming," which featured fashion pieces that could be made by readers with the secret addition of machine-made trimmings they could pass off as self-made -- unless asked of course. She wore the knitted poncho/skirt fashion piece. The piece, as a poncho, had a wide turtleneck which switched into a waistband when it was worn as a skirt. It had wide rows of detailing as it approached the poncho's hem/skirt's hemline - one of which was a row of "embroidered" flowers, machine-made attachments that brought a wow factor to the piece. Shelley wore it as a skirt and topped it off with a white long sleeved shirt with had a wide collar and wide cuffs. A matching belt and unique gladiator-inspired boots finished her look. With minimal makeup and her long hair simply brushed back, Shelley looked young, fresh, chic and fabulous.
