Poster Print and Linen Weave 1

a closeup of Shelley from a pic
on Family Circle magazine, October 1974

Shelley appeared on many issues of what was known as the Seven Sisters group of magazines. The Seven Sisters magazines were Woman's Day, Redbook, McCall's, Ladies' Home Journal, Good Housekeeping, Family Circle and Better Homes and Gardens. They all catered to married women with children rather than single working women. The magazines featured homemaking and crafts, food and nutrition, health and fitness, beauty and fashion advice and articles. Shelley appeared on the pages of Family Circle magazine's October 1974 issue. She was part of a spread that featured Reversible Skirts that were designed by Gene Morin. She modeled a couple of the now classic skirts that could be worn either side out. She modeled the pumpkin-colored linen weave (on one side) and silk-like poster print (on the other side) version  that was mid-calf in length. It had a little gathering at the waist for a fuller, softer look. The skirt could go from the workplace to a casual evening out. The excess fabric could be made into a reversible scarf and/or even into a matching printed blouse. And Shelley was simply stylish in it. (For more, check out: Reversible Skirt 2)
