Pamphlet Cover

pics of Shelley wearing
Simplicity pattern 9567, 1971

Shelley appeared on many Simplicity pattern catalogs, brochures and packaging during the 1960s and 1970s. The Simplicity Pattern Company is the leading manufacturer of sewing patterns and sewing pattern guides which are distributed throughout the world. They have been manufacturing sewing patterns since 1927 and have allowed fashionistas on a budget and sewing aficionados to create clothes in a reliable manner. In 1971, she appeared on the cover of Simplicity Fashion And News Report For The Clothing Teacher, the fall issue. The 12-page pamphlet featured patterns, tips, and ideas for creating wardrobe pieces, bags, and much more... using various fabrics. On the cover, Shelley was pictured wearing Simplicity pattern number 9567, a tunic and hotpants ensemble. The tunic had a low U-shaped neckline, slits in the side seams and a back zipper. The hotpants had a back belt that buttoned to the front, a back zipper and an elastic waistline casing. A white rib knit long-sleeved turtleneck top, black leggings and matching lace-up heeled pumps finished her look. And Shelley looked chic and fabulous.
