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. In August of 1972, Shelley appeared on the pages of Simplicity Fashion News. She was featured in a spread called "Summer Treats in Jiffy Patterns So Simple To Sew", which featured dresses for both young girls and young misses that were perfect for that summer season. Shelley wore pattern number 5021, a misses' back-wrap dress that could be made in two lengths. Shelley wore the mini-length version which had a front patch pocket. The top stitched back-wrap dress had belts/long tabs from the back that crisscrossed in front and then tied at the back... as well as long neck straps that tied behind the neck. A vibrant-colored and boldly-printed fabric was used for her dress and matching sandals, shades and bangles finished her look. And Shelley looked vibrant and ready for those summer outings and shindigs. (For more, check out: Summer Treats in Jiffy Patterns)
