She appeared in the spread called "Crochet Fashions." It featured patterns for a swimsuits that readers could crochet themselves and add to their present wardrobe. Shelley modeled a piece from Simplicity pattern number 5659. It was a one-piece brief-cut bathing-suit that had a ribbed-midriff and had shoulder straps that crossed at the back and buttoned in front. It had elastics at the back and the leg edges. The one-color bathing-suit could be worn with purchased undergarments. Shelley wore a sunny yellow version of it and accessorized it with a matching yellow trimmed straw hat and a pair of sunglasses. And Shelley looked sexy, summery and full of sunshine.
