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 December of 1975, Shelley appeared on the pages of Simplicity Fashion News. She was featured in a spread called "Past, Peasant, Future", which showcased the peasant look popularized by Yves Saint Laurent in the 1970s. Shelley wore pattern number 7213, a V-neck dress with peasant shawl as collar. It was more higher-waisted than usual and had a very European-style-printed challis fabric for the shawl collar and cuffs. A matching beret and boots finished her look. And Shelley looked chic and fabulous. (For more, check out: Past, Peasant, Future)
