Fabulous Mini-Dress and Bag

Shelley in Simplicity pattern 9879 package cover, 1972

Shelley appeared in many Simplicity pattern catalogs, brochures and packaging during the 1960s and 1970s. In 1972, she appeared in pattern packaging 9879, a mini-dress and bag combo. The simple-to-sew dress had a Mandarin collar and patch pockets. A pattern for a simple round snap-fastened shoulder bag was also included. A cute headscarf and open-toed footwear finished her look. And Shelley looked simply fabulous in her mini-dress and bag ensemble.
