Simplicity April 1972 B

April 1972

Shelley appeared in many sewing catalogs during her tenure as a Supermodel. In April of 1972, she appeared on the pages of Simplicity catalog. In the spread that featured Junior Miss Dresses (very together dresses with the look of tomorrow), she wore pattern no. 9861. It was a pattern for a misses' mini-dress with a high round neckline, a front yoke, a back zipper, and set-in sleeves. Version 1 had a contrasting collar, front tucks, and long sleeves gathered with elastic casings. Version 2 was collarless, had front pleats, had cap type sleeves, and had a self-tie belt with tie-ends stitched to the front. Shelley wore version 1... which was in printed fabric with a contrasting collar. Matching hose and platform sandals finished her look. A fun brooch in the shape of a star accessorized her look. And Shelley looked young, very together and fashion forward.
