Up-To-The-Minute

a closeup of Shelley from a fashion pic
for Bobbie Brooks, 1967

Shelley appeared in many ads for Bobbie Brooks from the 1960 to the early 1970s. Bobbie Brooks Incorporated was one of the five largest garment manufacturers in the United States in the 1960s and 1970s, specializing in women's garments. The company produced fashion pieces that were affordable yet up-to-the-minute. It was one of the big fashion brands during the mid-20th century and was known to produce clothes of good quality. In 1967, Shelley appeared on the cover of the Bobbie Brooks Incorporated Annual Report for the Year Ended April 30, 1967. On the cover, she wore the Ring-A-Ding Clinger, which was made up of a rib knit top with waist-whittling ribbing and an A-line skirt in all wool-houndstooth. Matching white hose and footwear finished her look. A pink ribboned ponytail and a gold O-ring chain belt accessorized her look. And Shelley looked fabulous and definitely up-to-the-minute.
