Simplicity The Fashion Magazine for Women Who Sew was a booklet the Simplicity Pattern Company came out with to showcase their latest patterns. The Simplicity Pattern Company had been manufacturing sewing patterns since 1927, giving fashionistas on a budget and sewing aficionados the ability to create clothes in a reliable manner. The booklet featured the latest patterns Simplicity had come up with at the time. It also showed readers what they could do with them and how to play around with them by using fabrics and trims to personalize the fashion must-haves featured in it.

In the spread called "All About Sewing Knits," Shelley wore Simplicity Pattern 9333, a knitted midi-dress with a high round neckline, set-in sleeves and a back zipper. It had long sleeves and it could be worn with a self fabric tie belt or a purchased belt. Shelley wore hers with a fancy purchased belt that was wide with a blocked design. A pair of Mary Janes finished her look. With her hair neatly pulled back, Shelley looked every inch like a stylish modern miss of the 1970s.
