Shelley on the package cover
of Simplicity Pattern 7655, 1976
In 1976, she appeared on the cover of Simplicity Pattern package 7655. It contained patterns and instructions for creating a dress or top and pants ensemble. Shelley wore the top and pants ensemble. She wore the top-stitched scoop-necked top with back zipper and elbow length raglan sleeves and turn-back cuffs. She wore it over a pair of flared pants with back zipper and elastic waistline casing. In one version, she wore the ensemble with a long-sleeved turtleneck sweater under the top, a fancy leather belt around the waist and a matching watch. In another version, she wore the ensemble with a matching woven belt and a matching woven bracelet. And in both versions, Shelley looked utterly fabulous.
