Shelley appeared in a number of spreads for Simplicity Home Catalog Fall/Winter 1971. She appeared in the spread called "Splice-Ups" which featured fashions enhanced with color slicing, using color blocks for different parts of a garment (for more, check out: Splice-Ups). She also appeared in the spread called "Jumpers" which featured jumpers of every kind (for more, check out: Jumpers). And she appeared in the spread that featured Young Contemporary Fashions - outfits that were fun, young and up-to-date for the modern miss.

In one spread, Shelley modeled pattern 9570. Simplicity Pattern 9570 was a pattern for a misses' shirt. The shirt (V.1), which had contrasting raglan sleeves, had a back zipper, a high round neckline, slits in the side seams and flat woven braid trim. It also had a contrasting star applique. The shirt (V.2) could also be made with long sleeves. A men's version could be made with the same patterns as well. Color combos could be played around with as preferred. Shelley modeled V.1 and looked young, contemporary, fun, and definitely up-to-date.
