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. In 1972, she appeared on the cover of Simplicity Pattern package 9884. It was for a pair of summer shorts with an elasticized waist and patch pockets that could be made with matching suspenders. Shelley wore the shorts and suspenders set with a matching T-shirt and a pair of flat lace-up espadrilles. She accessorized her look with a matching scarf around her neck. And Shelley looked summer-ready and ready to play those fun summer games.
