Keeping Posted in Fashion '75 A

a closeup of Shelley from a spread for McCall's mag, 1975

Shelley appeared on many issues of what was known as the Seven Sisters group of magazines (Woman's Day, Redbook, McCall's, Ladies' Home Journal, Good Housekeeping, Family Circle, Better Homes and Gardens) which all catered to married women with children rather than single working women. In the January 1975 issue of McCall's magazine, she appeared in a fashion spread called "Keeping Posted on Fashion" which featured fashions taken from mail-order catalogues. Deemed well-styled, up-to-the-minute and wearable, the outfits ranged from high-fashion casuals to contemporary classics - all at very affordable prices of course. Shelley modeled a soft, feminine dress with a bow at the neck in peach, available Sears. A matching narrow gold belt and a pair of heeled sandals finished her look. And Shelley looked, oh, so mid-1970s chic.
