Shelley was a busy model in the 1970s. She appeared in many TV and print ads. In 1972, she appeared in a print ad for Inwood Knitting Mills, a textile manufacturing company. It was advertisement for their latest double knit fabrics. Double knit fabrics are knitted fabrics made with a double set of needles to produce a double thickness of fabric; each thickness is joined by interlocking stitches. Shelley wore Simplicity pattern 9871, a slack set and blouse made from double knit fabric. A knitted skull cap and two-toned footwear finished her look. Shelley looked seventies sensational in her fabulous double knit ensemble. For more, check out the two-page version of the ad at: 1972 Ad
