Shelley appeared on the cover and on spreads for the Simplicity Home Catalog Spring 1973 issue. On the cover, she wore Simplicity Pattern 5504. Dubbed "Designer Fashion," it was a classy two-piece outfit perfect for daywear. The suit-style top had a front button closing, notched collar, short set-in sleeves with turn-back cuffs and back vents. The pleated skirt had a side zipper and waistband. Pale-colored and plaid linens were used to create her outfit. A matching cloche hat, a set of white pearl necklaces and a white bangle finished her look. And Shelley looked spectator spectacular.
