Well-Tailored

from an ad for Cone Mills, 1973

Shelley appeared in many ads during her tenure as a Supermodel in the 1970s. In 1973, she appeared in an ad for Cone Mills which featured an outfit by Garland. The Cone Mills Corporation was a textile manufacturing company that produced cotton fabrics like corduroy, flannel and denim. Garland was a popular garment brand in the United States in the 1960s and 1970s, specializing in women's garments. In the ad, she wore well-tailored separates in shimmering Cone Sand Devil sateen (a blend of Dacron polyester and rayon). She wore a pair of navy-colored pants with a floral shirt; and topped them off with a navy-colored jacket. A red belt and red-soled footwear finished her look. A bucket hat with a red band accessorized her look. And Shelley looked well-tailored and fabulous.
