Designer Fashion 1975

a closeup of Shelley from the package cover
for Simplicity 6794, 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 6794. It contained patterns and instructions for creating an unlined suit and pants suit... designer fashion. Shelley wore the safari-style top-stitched jacket top with short sleeves and front button closing over the matching flared pants with elastic waist. Shelley looked fabulous as usual.
