Shelley appeared in many ads during her Supermodel days. In 1971, she appeared in an ad spread for the McCall's Patterns Make-It-Yourself-With-Wool Contest. Filling out and sending an attached coupon entitled the sender to an an entry form - which was to be mailed to them. The prize was a trip to Europe aboard the KLM Bravo jet. The winner got to go on a trip to Europe's romantic cites, historic ruins, serene countrysides and glamorous resorts -  a trip everyone dreams about.

Shelley wore several outfits in the ad. One of which was a knicker jumpsuit, McCall's pattern 2812, in splendid stripes. Laced-up knee-high boots opened in front, a big-buckled Western belt and a knitted skull cap finished her look. Shelley looked ready for those European day trips.
