Fall and Winter 1970 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. Sears was an American chain of department stores founded in 1892. Aside from the big-book catalogs, they came out with tabloid-sized catalogs that featured items on sale. In 1970, Shelley appeared on the pages of the Sears Fall and Winter 1970 catalog. She appeared in the spread called "Favorite Classic Sweaters," which featured sweater and skirt sets. She wore the V-Neck Pullover long-sleeved sweater with the Dickey (a pullover style rib-knit turtleneck) underneath it. She wore it with the Skirt, a panel rib-knit pull-on style skirt with an elasticized waistband. and she finished her look with the Suede Belt (a 2-inch leather belt  with an antique-look-gold metal buckle). And Shelley looked sensational in the classic sweater and skirt ensemble.
