Shelley appeared in a number of spreads for Simplicity Home Catalog Fall/Winter 1971. She appeared in the spread called "Splice-Ups" which featured fashions enhanced with color slicing, using color blocks for different parts of a garment (for more, check out: Splice-Ups). She also appeared in the spread called "Jumpers" which featured jumpers of every kind (for more, check out: Jumpers). And she appeared in the spread that featured Young Contemporary Fashions - outfits that were fun, young and up-to-date for the modern miss.

In the spread, Shelley modeled pattern 9580. Simplicity Pattern 9580 was a pattern for creating a blouse and pants (as well as skirt) ensemble. The blouse had a front neckline zipper, stand-up collar, set-in sleeves and an optional purchased belt. The pants were hip-hugger bell-bottoms with a front zipper and a waistband below the normal waistline. Contrasting patch pockets, band and suspenders fastened with hook-up closures were suggested. Matching footwear completed her look. And Shelley looked young, contemporary, fun, young and definitely up-to-date.
