Simplicity Catalog 1971 A

on Simplicity School Catalog, Spring/Summer 1971

Shelley appeared in many sewing catalogs when she was a model. In 1971, she appeared on the cover and pages of the Simplicity School Catalog Spring/Summer catalog. In one spread, she wore pattern no. 9216, a mini-dress designed without underarm or waistline darts, a raised neckline, raglan ling sleeves and patch pockets. It zipped at the back and was designed for knit fabrics. A fancy belt, matching sandals, and a fun squash-blossom-inspired hairstyle (ala Princess Leia) finished her look. Shelley looked young and up-to-the-minute.
