The Personal Touch

Shelley in a spread for the book The Personal Touch, 1974

Shelley appeared on many fashion spreads throughout her modeling career, be it magazines, catalog and even books. In 1974, she appeared on a spread for the book The Personal Touch. The book was part of a set called The Art of Sewing and was by the editors of Time Life  Books - this particular book talked about personal style. In the chapter called "The Medium is the Material," Shelley modeled a "pretty little slip of a dress" that "takes on unexpected drama when rendered in a vivid pink and orange cotton print" fabric. Matching earrings finished her look. And Shelley looked spectacular in the spread.
