The Dress Shop

Simpsons-Sears was a joint venture between the Simpsons department store chain in Canada and the Sears department store chain in the US. The joint venture began in around 1953. Shelley appeared on many catalogs for Simpsons-Sears in the 1970s. She appeared in several spreads throughout Simpsons-Sears Spring and Summer 1975 catalog. In the spread called "Junior Bazaar: The Dress Shop," she modeled a dress and a pant set that were perfect for that spring and summer season.

She wore the white pant set in polyester double knit which was made up of a military-inspired jacket (with shirt collar, double stitching, breast pockets and shirttail finish) over the pants (with a zip-fly and button waistband). A scarf around the neck finished her look. She also wore the short printed T-shirt dress, a T-shirt style dress with buttoned placket and sashed belt. Low-heeled summer pumps finished her look. Matching hair clips and bracelet accessorized her look. And Shelley looked summer sensational in both outfits.
