Two-Piece Allure

Spring/Summer 1972 catalog

Shelley appeared on the pages of the the Simplicity Home Catalog Spring/Summer 1972 issue. In the spread called "For Spring: The New Two-Piece Things," she wore a floral suit-style dress - perfect for that spring season. It was Simplicity pattern no. 9890, a two-piece outfit. The top had a low V-shaped neckline, set-in long sleeves, front button closing. It had contrasting "dog ear" shaped collars and contrasting cuffs. The pleated mini-skirt had an elastic waistband and a side opening. Matching heeled strappy footwear with ankle straps finished her look. A gold butterfly pendant necklace and a gold hairpin accessorized her look. Her short skirt definitely bared one of her best assets, her legs. Not only were they long, they were slender, delicate and, oh, so feminine and sexy. Shelley looked alluring.
