Young Expressions H

Shelley appeared on many different catalogs during her modeling career. One of them was Spiegel which was a direct marketing retailer that sent their buyers to Parisian fashion shows in order to check out the latest fashion trends and introduce them to the American market. In 1972, she appeared on various spreads on the Spiegel Spring and Summer 1972 catalog. In the Young Expressions section, she wore various outfits that were on trend during that season. She wore the "Coachman" Sleep Set, a sleeping gown and coat set for the trendy sleeper. The gown had an empire bodice and a hem-ruffled gown. The double-breasted coat had ruffles around the neckline that extended down to the front. It had a princess-line bodice that was joined to a gathered skirt. The elbow-length sleeves had ruffled ends as well. And Shelley looked sweet and sensational.

On the same page-spread, Shelley wore the "Colorful Culotte," a day-to-evening outfit with a bright colored top combined with bold-flower-printed pants. The top had short puffed sleeves and a scoop-neck with contrasting details sewn around the neckline, the end of the sleeves and the empire waist. The pants were fully shirred at the waist and had wide-legged bottom. A back zipper helped wearers get into the statement outfit. A matching ribbon around the neck and equally bold-colored footwear finished her look. And Shelley looked super and sensational. For more on this go to:
