Spring and Summer 1974 catalog
Shelley appeared in many catalogs throughout her modeling career, from the late '60s to the late '70s. Mail-order catalogs were at the height of its popularity at the time. They were big-book size publications that contained a list and pictures of the general merchandise from, usually, a department store that were available for purchase and delivery straight to the homes of their customers. Everything from homeware to toys were featured in these catalogs... as well as garments and the latest fashion pieces. Shelley appeared in many spreads throughout the JCPenney Spring and Summer 1974 catalog.

In the spread called "Suiting Made Easy," Shelley wore an array of eye-catching separates - like jackets, skirts and pants in crisp twill-weave texturized polyester - that matched or mixed with coordinating solid-colored pieces. She wore a rib-knit turtle-neck top (which was lightweight and sleeveless) over the Woven-Plaid Flare-Leg Pants (which had a waistband style that featured side tabs with button trims). She topped it off with The Contrast Top-Stitched Jacket (which had length-adjusting roll-up cuffs, slightly fitted button-front styling and twin patch pockets with white button trim). She finished her look with a pair of matching open-toed heeled footwear. And Shelley looked stylish, fab and perfectly suited for spring and summer in her outfit.
