A Guide to Gauze

for Simplicity Fashion News, 1976

Simplicity Fashion News was a monthly pamphlet Simplicity came out with to showcase their latest patterns. The Simplicity Pattern Company had been manufacturing sewing patterns since 1927 and had allowed fashionistas on a budget and sewing aficionados to create clothes in a reliable manner. Shelley appeared on the pages of Simplicity Fashion News May 1976 issue. She appeared in the spread called "A Guide to Gauze", which showcased designs that were made from gauze-soft materials. She wore pattern number 7430, a sailor collar pullover top with embroidered details and matching pants. Matching casual footwear, shell choker and shell bangle finished her look. And Shelley looked chic and fabulous.
