Shelley has appeared on many spreads for many catalogs from the late '60s to the mid-'70s. Many Supermodels at the time appeared in the most popular catalogs during the era like Cheryl Tiegs, Beverly Johnson, Patti Hansen and Shelley Smith, just to name a few. Many models who eventually became actresses also appeared in the catalogs like Veronica Hamel, Erin Grey, Kim Basinger and Pam Dawber.

Shelley appeared on the pages of the Montgomery Ward summer 1976 catalog. In the spread called "The Super Naturals... Conjure Up Coolness With Lightweight Comfort" (which featured sleepwear in soft colors and shapes detailed with lace trim and embroidery), she wore the  Princess Caftan. It had an exceptionally flattering cut, was made from soft crinkle-cloth muslin and was embroidered with a flower on the chest. It had color-cued rick-rack trim around the 3/4 length belled sleeves and a back zipper. Shelley looked ready to hit the sack in style.
