The spread called "Special Occasion Fashions" featured romantic outfits that could be worn for those special days or nights. Shelley wore a romantic misses' blouse and jumper ensemble. Simplicity Pattern number 5245 was a pattern for a dolman-sleeved blouse with a back zipper, tie collar and long sleeves that gathered into sleeve bands. The pattern also included a jumper with a square neckline, a midriff stitched to the bodice and a long A-line skirt with a back zipper. It had self fabric ruffles and tie ends. Matching hose and footwear and a pin on her hair finished her look. And Shelley looked young, chic, and oh so romantic.
