a closeup of Shelley from a spread
for Simplicity Fashion News, 1972
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 March 1972 issue. She appeared in the spread called "Shades of Khaki and Muslin Pick Up The Beat of Solid Rock" where she modeled pattern no 9828, a pair of shorts jazzed up with a bib, suspenders and pockets. A bright red shirt, a matching bracelet and glasses finished her look. And Shelley looked chic, fab and summer-ready.
