Sweater-Dressing

a closeup of Shelley from an ad
for The Good Wools, 1977

Shelley appeared on many ads in the 1970s. In 1977, she appeared in an ad for "The Good Wools." The ad featured fashions from an "Exclusive Collection of Imports"... made with pure wool and stamped with the Woolmark logo. Interested parties could order the featured dress by landline (the number was included in the ad). In the ad, Shelley wore a sweater dress with a ribbed cowl neck and ribbed cuffs. It had side pockets and a sash to cinch the waist. It came in the colors camel and jade. And Shelley was so chic and stunning in the ad... everyone would have gone Sweater-Dressing immediately.
