Shelley appeared in the Simplicity Young Ideas Catalog in 1972. The catalog featured fashions readers could make themselves - young and up-to-date fashions. She appeared in many spreads throughout the catalog and one of them was called "Crafts, Super-Special... Make It You!" which featured fashion pieces and fashion accessories that readers could crochet for themselves and add to their wardrobe closet.

Shelley wore pieces from Simplicity pattern number 9700. It contained crochet instructions for making a vest, a pair of hotpants and a skullcap. She modeled a purple version of the patterns (with pink and green details) and wore them with a white turtleneck top. And Shelley looked fab and Super-Special in all of the pieces.
