Berlei were ahead of their time in using real women as models for their underwear.
This is a great example of a before and after glass slide, complete with all the tricks of the trade to make the 'after' image look its best including: having the model smile in the after shot, featuring a different colour background to make the model stand out, giving her a different hairstyle, using a more flattering angle and changing her shoes. This would have been used in the educational training package for Berlei fitters.
