C&C Fanny Sweaters C

on Fanny Sweaters: Coats & Clark's
Studio Card No.10, 1973

In 1973, Shelley appeared on Fanny Sweaters: Coats & Clark's Studio Card No.10, which featured instructions on how to knit sweaters that were long enough to cover the fanny. The studio card was a back-to-back-printed 4-fold leaflet with Shelley modeling the various fanny sweater designs on one side and instructions on how to make them on the other. She wore the Knit Pullover and Cap set (Design A) - a long-sleeved turtleneck sweater with a self-tie belt around the hips that could be made with a matching skull cap. She also wore the Crew Neck Crochet Pullover (Design B) - a long-sleeved crocheted sweater with a crew neck and jagged-stripe detailing. She wore the Knit Cardigan (Design C) - a white long-sleeved cardigan sweater with red and black stripe details around the neckline and in front, as well as around the cuffs. And under the Knit Cardigan, she wore the Pullover Top (Design D) - a white sleeveless knitted top with red and black stripe details around the V-neckline and around the hips. And in all designs, Shelley looked downright chic and modern.
