In the spread called "Party Goers... Go Romantic," Shelley modeled a beautiful party ensemble that was soft and pretty, suitable for those romantic evenings. It was made up of a beautiful billowing blouse and full skirt. She wore Butterick Pattern no. 5714, a misses' loose-fitting blouse with a lace neckline ruffle, a self drawstring neckline and full-length raglan sleeves elasticized at the wrist. She wore it over Butterick Pattern no. 5375, a three tiered dirndl full-length skirt with a waistband and a back zipper. A matching thin belt and a pin on her hair finished her look. And Shelley looked party-ready, romantic and absolutely lovely.
