Matti of Lynne '77

from Butterick Pattern package 5677, 1977

Shelley appeared on many pattern catalogs, brochures and packaging during the 1960s and 1970s. In 1977, she appeared on Butterick Pattern package 5677. It was a pattern for a semi-fitted below mid-knee length dress with a round neckline, a front neckline slit, a blouson bodice and a gathered skirt. It had pockets in its forward side seams, a back zipper, a self-tie belt and had full-length sleeves gathered into cuffs. It was a design by Matti of Lynne, a popular label at the time. Matching hose, earrings and a watch finished her look. And Shelley looked chic and fab.
