Simplicity Fashion News was a monthly pamphlet Simplicity came out with to showcase their latest patterns. The Simplicity Pattern Company had been manufacturing sewing patterns since 1927 and had allowed fashionistas on a budget and sewing aficionados to create clothes in a reliable manner. Aside from the pamphlets, they came out with books, magazines and pattern packages. Shelley appeared on the pages of Simplicity Fashion News, on their November 1975 issue. In the spread called "A Wrap, A Zip, A Tie - For Jiffy Dresses", she modeled the Jiffy tucked-bodice dress with obi tie... Simplicity pattern number 7617. The bright scarlet red dress was a standout and could be worn from day to night. A fabulous scarf, an envelope clutch and a pair of ankle strap pumps - all in varying shades of tan - finished her outfit. And Shelley looked chic-sational in it.
