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 9572. Simplicity Pattern 9572 was a pattern for creating a vest, bolero and gaucho pants ensemble. The gaucho pants had a back zipper and a waistband. V.1 of the ensemble had the gaucho pants and lined bolero trimmed with embroidered braid or ribbon detail. A belt of embroidered braid or ribbon could also be added. V.2 had the had the gaucho pants and lined vest trimmed with a fringe detail. Shelley wore the V.1 ensemble with the added belt, and wore it with a long-sleeved turtleneck ribbed sweater and a pair of knee-high tie-up boots. And Shelley looked young, contemporary, fun, young and definitely up-to-date.
