1979 was a new era for the hit TV series Charlie's Angels. Supermodel Shelley Hack joined Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd to form Charlie's glamorous new Angel team. Nolan Miller, the wardrobe designer of the series, said, "I begged Aaron to hire Shelley. There was something about her I really liked; I was impressed with her Charlie perfume commercials and how she could create a look just by turning her collar up and putting her hands in her pockets." The wardrobe budget was increased to $20,000 per episode; and, according to People magazine, each Angel was to go through eight costume changes per episode (but it was more like three to five, with Farrah making the most - at eight changes - in "Fallen Angel").

For the episode "Home $weet Homes," like Farrah, Shelley went through eight outfit changes throughout the episode. For her first scene, she wore a red long-sleeved knee-length shirt dress with a jacket collar. She finished her look with a black belt, a black lace pocket square and a pair of red high-heeled sandals. She accessorized her look with a gold pin on her hair, a pair of gold earrings and a gold necklace. She next wore a sweater top and skirt ensemble in shades of aubergine. She finished her look with a wide violet elastic belt with a fancy buckle and neutral-colored open-toe high-heeled footwear with ankle straps. She upped the glamour of her outfit by wearing it with a pair of 1940s-style back-seamed stockings. She next wore an all-white ensemble made up of a man's shirt and a pair of pleated slacks. She accessorized her look with a neutral-colored belt and a black necktie. She next wore an all-purple satin ensemble made up of a spaghetti strap top and slacks- which she topped off with a cap-sleeved diaphanous tunic with silver stripes.
