In the issue, Shelley appeared in the spread called "Wardrobe Investments... Stock Up On Mix-Matchers." It featured patterns for wardrobe pieces that could be mixed-and-matched, depending on one's preference. Shelley wore Simplicity pattern number 5132 - patterns for a dress that could be made in two lengths and an unlined jacket. The dress (Shelley wore the short version) was a skirt stitched to a contrasting bodice and could be worn with an optional purchased belt. The top of which had a back zipper and a high round neckline. The unlined jacket had top-stitching, front button closing, a collar, patch pockets and long set-in sleeves. Shelley accessorized her dress and jacket ensemble with a fun brooch, a contrasting belt and chain strap shoulder bag. And Shelley looked young, well put together and definitely chic.
