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 "Create Your Own Playthings... For Fun And Sun", which featured tops, shorts, pants, and dresses for young misses to play around in for that summer.

Shelley modeled pattern 9880. Simplicity Pattern 9880 was a short jumpsuit and mini wrap-skirt combo. The sleeveless short jumpsuit had a front zipper, a high round neckline, contrasting collar and an optional belt. The mini wrap-skirt had a drawstring cord at the waistline that could be tied into a bow on the side. Shelley wore a casual hairstyle and went barefoot. Shelley looked fresh and ready to play those fun summer games.
