McCall's Booklet A

Shelley appeared on the pages of the Carefree Patterns From McCall's booklet, the July/August 1974 issue. The booklet was a condensed version of the big book catalog and it featured spreads with models wearing the latest fashion patterns from McCall's for that season. Shelley appeared on several spreads throughout the booklet. In the spread called "New Under The Sun: The Long And Short Of It," she modeled a long, body-hugging summer dress, McCall's Pattern no. 4103. It was a long dress (that could also be made shorter, as preferred) with a scooped out back as well as sides. It was designed for unbonded stretchable knit fabrics and had buttoned back straps and an elastic in the back waistline casing. A matching headband, a bracelet and heeled espadrilles finished her look. With Shelley in the spread was Patti Hansen (who later married musician and songwriter Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones). And both Supermodels were super gorgeous in the spread.
