Color It Yours

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 "Color It Yours", which showcased fabrics that could be printed/designed by the readers themselves. Shelley wore her printed/designed scarf with pattern number 7439, a pullover dress with a tucked bodice and sailor collar. Matching sandals finished her look. Button earrings and a shoulder tote accessorized her look. And Shelley looked chic and fabulous.
