Shelley appeared on many Simplicity pattern catalogs, brochures and packaging during the 1960s and 1970s. The Simplicity Pattern Company is the leading manufacturer of sewing patterns and sewing pattern guides which are distributed throughout the world. They have been manufacturing sewing patterns since 1927 and have allowed fashionistas on a budget and sewing aficionados to create clothes in a reliable manner. In 1972, she appeared on the cover of Simplicity Pattern package 9939. It was for an easy-to-make, super simple top and shorts ensemble. The top was a simple cropped halter top and the shorts were simple short shorts with an elasticized waist. Matching or complementing fabrics could be used and appliques could be added for a personal touch. And Shelley looked summer-ready and ready to play those fun summer games.
