Spring is the Time for Longs

a closeup of Shelley from a spread
for Simplicity Home Catalog, 1974

Shelley has appeared on many spreads for many catalogs from the late '60s to the mid-'70s. Many Supermodels at the time appeared in the most popular catalogs during the era like Cheryl Tiegs, Beverly Johnson, Patti Hansen and Shelley Smith, just to name a few. Many models who eventually became actresses also appeared in the catalogs like Veronica Hamel, Erin Grey, Kim Basinger and Pam Dawber. Shelley appeared on the pages of the the Simplicity Home Catalog Spring 1974 issue. In the spread called "Spring is the Time for Longs to..." she modeled pretty, romantic as well as loose and easy fashion pieces which were great for that season. She wore Simplicity pattern 6227, which was a blouse with an elastic neck and sleeves forming ruffles, over Simplicity pattern 6261, which was a bias skirt with a swirl design. A pair of matching sandals and a straw hat embellished with flowers finished her look. Shelley looked sunny and fresh as spring.
