for Simplicity 6895, 1975

Shelley appeared on many Simplicity pattern catalogs, brochures and packaging during the 1960s and 1970s. The Simplicity Pattern Company is the leading manufacturer of sewing patterns and sewing pattern guides which are distributed throughout the world. They have been manufacturing sewing patterns since 1927 and have allowed fashionistas on a budget and sewing aficionados to create clothes in a reliable manner. In 1975, she appeared on the cover of pattern package 6895. It contained patterns and instructions for creating a pullover top and wide-legged pants... designer fashion style. Shelley wore the top with a cord laced thru eyelets front slit opening and shirt type collar over the pants with back zipper and elastic waistline. As always, Shelley looked fab.
