In the issue, Shelley appeared in the spread called "Moonlighting Magic Makes The Scene In Romantic New Lengths" - which featured patterns for mix-and-match wardrobe sets. Shelley wore Simplicity pattern number 5245, 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 very romantic.
