Shelley appeared on many Simplicity pattern catalogs, brochures and packaging during the 1960s and 1970s. The Simplicity Pattern Company is the leading manufacturer of sewing patterns and sewing pattern guides which are distributed throughout the world. They have been manufacturing sewing patterns since 1927 and have allowed fashionistas on a budget and sewing aficionados to create clothes in a reliable manner. Shelley appeared in Simplicity Young Ideas Catalog's Spring-Summer 1973 issue. In the issue, Shelley appeared in the spread called "Dress For The Time Being." It featured patterns for dresses that could be worn during any time of the day. Shelley wore Simplicity Pattern 9879 - 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 cute headscarf and open-toed footwear finished her look. And Shelley looked fabulous and ready for any activity during any time of the day.
