T-Shirt Dress and Shirtdress

closeups 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 "The T-Shirt Dresses," she wore a soft and lightweight pullover-style dress with a rounded neckline, pointed collar and cap sleeves. It came with a self-fabric belt and a covered buckle. She wore the version with the lace trim in front, around the neckline. White earrings and a white bracelet finished her look. In the spread called "Oxford Cloth Shirtdress with Convertible Sleeves," she wore the Tattersall-Checked Dress that had a front button-placket opening, pointed collar, contrasting fabric at the inner neckline and placket. The long sleeves could be rolled up and fastened with a button tab. It had several pockets and a self-belt with a tab and metal buckle. White earrings finished her look. Shelley looked summer-ready, sophisticated and sensational in both.
