Exotics Dyed In Rice

a closeup of Shelley from the spread for Seventeen mag, 1971

Shelley appeared on many spreads for Seventeen magazine throughout her modeling career. In May of 1971, she appeared in a spread called "Brave Looks, Rave Looks" where she modeled fashion separates made from fabrics from India that have been tie-dyed with rice. The fabrics were sophisticated and fab.

Shelley wore a bikini top, made from the said fabric, made for maximum exposure, made for that perfect tan. For the bottom, she wore a pair of hip harem pants. A scarf around her head and a belt around her waist, both by Maharajah, and a perfect tan finished her look. Shelley looked chic and exotic.
