The Mirror Makers

a closeup of Shelley from a spread on Seventeen mag, 1967

Shelley appeared on many issues of Seventeen magazine from 1964 to the 1970s. In 1967, she appeared in their November issue, in the spread called "The Mirror Makers." The spread featured colorful dresses adorned with contrasting applique trim. She wore a dress anyone could make for themselves, using McCall's Pattern 9039. It was a mini-dress with a flaring shape and a narrowed square neckline that had adornments around the chest and around the arms. Embroidered appliques and silver-mirror paillettes were the recommended adornments. Stockings by Hummingbird and shoes by Nina finished her look. With her hair tied in a braid, Shelley looked ready to party, 1967-style.
