The Hat '74 A

a closeup of Shelley from a pic used
in the Sears Fall and Winter 1974 catalog

Shelley appeared on the pages of Sears Fall and Winter 1974 catalog. She was featured in various spreads throughout the catalog. In the spread entitled "Tweed ...The Texture For Misses' Pants ...With Harmonizing Coordinates", she modeled The Hat - a cloche-style hat with a six-section crown. It was made with a Donegal-type tweed woven fabric of polyester, acrylic, wool and nylon which came in deep colors with creamy-white and multicolor flecks. It went well with the sporty-style outfits of the era. Shelley modeled the dark brown tweed version. Shelley wore it with The Bow Blouse in dark brown (a blouse with a fold-over neckband with extensions that tied into a bow). And, as always, Shelley looked utterly fabulous.
