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 one spread, Shelley modeled pattern 9567. Simplicity Pattern 9567 was a pattern for creating a tunic and pants ensemble. The tunic had a back zipper, a low "U" shaped neckline and slits in the side seams. The pattern presented two design options for the tunic... V.1 - with patch packets with an optional fringe trim, V.2 - with a back belt that buttoned to the front. The pants had a back zipper and an elastic waistline casing. The pattern presented two design options for the pants as well... V.1 - long, V.2 - shorts. Shelley wore the V.2 tunic over the V.2 pants (shorts). Under the tunic, she wore a white long-sleeved ribbed turtleneck sweater. With the shorts, she wore a pair of black leggings. She finished her outfit with a pair of fun chunky-heeled footwear. And Shelley looked young, contemporary, fun, young and definitely up-to-date.
