Romantic Tent Styles

closeup of Shelley from a spread
for Sears 1978 Spring Summer catalog

Shelley did a lot of catalog work during her tenure as a full-time Supermodel in the 1970s. She appeared in many spreads throughout the Sears 1978 Spring Summer catalog. In the spread called "Romantic... Tent Styles and Tiered Effects," she wore the Tent Dress. It was a pullover-style dress with a V-neckline and a spread collar. It had a square yoke in the front and the back with cream-color ribbon trims. It had soft gathers below the 3/4 length sleeves which were elasticized at the edges. It also came with a self tie-belt. A flower comb and a set of hoop earrings accessorized her look. Sandal-style footwear and a fashionable Jute Bag finished her look. Shelley looked sophisticated and sensational.
