Bridal Beauty

closeups of Shelley
from a couple of print ads
for Caresse, 1973

Shelley appeared many ads during her modeling days. One of them was for Caresse. Caresse or the Caresse Shop was bridal salon chain that catered to the needs of every bride... from gowns to accessories to thoughtful and kind advice. Their shops were located in various parts of the US. Their advertisements as well as brochure-type advertisements appeared in many of the most popular bridal magazines like Modern Bride. In the 1973 February/March issue of Modern Bride, Shelley was featured in a brochure-type ad for Caresse. She modeled two looks. One of which was a peach-colored bridesmaid's gown complete with matching peach-colored footwear and veil. Another was a white bridal gown complete with white footwear, veil and tiara, and a floral satin choker. In both looks, Shelley was absolutely beautiful indeed.
