In the issue, Shelley appeared in the spread that featured "Young Contemporary Fashion." It featured patterns for wardrobe pieces that catered to the younger set. Shelley wore Simplicity pattern number 5130 - a pattern for a misses' bias-dress that could be made in two lengths. The dress (Shelley wore the short version) had the new narrow shoulder look... with the shoulder length of the pattern shorter and the head of the sleeves higher. It had a high, round neckline, long set-in sleeves, contrasting collar and cuffs, a back zipper and an optional ribbon bow. Shelley accessorized her dress with the optional bow and a matching clip on her hair. And Shelley looked young, contemporary and definitely chic.
