C&C Super Simple Fashions B

Shelley appeared on many leaflets, booklets and brochures for various fashion companies during her tenure as Supermodel in the 1970s. One of them was for Coats & Clark's, a sewing and needlecrafts products manufacturer. Aside from sewing and knitting products, the company came up with reading materials that contained sewing and knitting instructions as well as tips for interested readers. In 1977, Shelley appeared on the pages of Coats & Clark's Book No.260, which featured "Super Simple Fashions to Knit & Crochet." In one spread, she donned a colorful crocheted hooded coat with long bell sleeves and and a rope belt. She wore it over a cowl neck sweater, gaucho pants and boots ensemble. A pair of matching sunglasses and a chunky bangle finished her look. And again, Shelley looked chic and, oh so, 1970s casual.
