closeups of Shelley from a spread
for Simplicity Home Catalog, summer 1973
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. Shelley appeared on the pages of Simplicity Home Catalog's summer 1973 issue. In the issue, Shelley appeared in the spread that featured swimwear that readers could crochet or sew themselves and add to their present summer wardrobe. Shelley modeled a piece from Simplicity pattern number 5659. It was a one-piece brief-cut bathing-suit that had a ribbed-midriff and had shoulder straps that crossed at the back and buttoned in front. It had elastics at the back and the leg edges. The one-color bathing-suit could be worn with purchased undergarments. Shelley wore a sunny yellow version of it and accessorized it with a matching yellow trimmed straw hat and a pair of sunglasses. And Shelley looked sunshine fresh and summer ready.
