Luxurious Apron

a closeup of Shelley from a spread
on Budget Catalog, 1978

Shelley appeared in both the ads and the catalogs of the Budget Uniform Center, a company that specialized in uniforms for professional women, as well as men. The catalog also featured various costumes and themed apparel for both genders. In 1978, Shelley appeared on the pages of Budget Catalog, in the spread called, "Budget's Patchwork Party." It featured wardrobe pieces that were put together in a patchwork-style. Shelley wore the Apron in a luxurious one-piece country patchwork print. It was trimmed with ruffles around the skirt and had ruffles as perky shoulder epaulets. Underneath it, she wore a plain white short-sleeved mini-dress with collar. And Shelley looked fun and luxurious at the same time.
