The spread called "A Tale Of Easy, Breezy Jumpers" featured jumpers in both mini and ankle lengths. Both lengths were in style, so it was really up to the wearer which length she preferred. Shelley wore pattern number 5205. It was a pattern for a misses' mini-jumper that could also be worn as a tunic over pants. It had a low round neckline, curved slits at the side seams, patch pockets and button trims. Shelley wore it over a long-sleeved turtleneck sweater top and finished her look with a matching hose and footwear. A matching brooch on her chest accessorized her look. Shelley also wore pattern number 5271. It was a pattern for a misses' super simple mini-jumper. It had a U-shaped neckline, extended shoulders forming cap sleeves and an opening at the center back neck. Likewise, Shelley wore it over a long-sleeved turtleneck sweater top and finished her look with a matching hose and footwear. A matching brooch on her neck and a coordinating skull cap accessorized her look. And in both jumpers, Shelley looked 1970s chic.
