Simplicity Fashion News was a monthly pamphlet Simplicity came out with to showcase their latest patterns. The Simplicity Pattern Company had been manufacturing sewing patterns since 1927 and had allowed fashionistas on a budget and sewing aficionados to create clothes in a reliable manner. Aside from the pamphlets, they came out with books, magazines and pattern packages. Shelley appeared on the pages of Simplicity Fashion News, on their February 1970 issue. In the spread called "Fashioned for Knits Only," she modeled pattern number 9227, a midi-dress with buttons all the way to the neckline. It could be worn closed or with some leg showing (the pattern included a mini-dress and pants). A fancy bonnet, a statement belt and a pair of matching Mary Janes finished her look. And Shelley was just absolutely lovely. (For more, check out: For Knits Only)
