A woman wearing a white coat measures another woman in her underwear. A third woman (also in a white coat) takes notes. They are in a medical-looking room with a sign that says 'BE EXACT!'.

Two women in white lab coats measure a woman for her foundation garment in a clinical-looking setting complete with scales. There is a sign on top of an anatomical drawing that reminds the fitters to 'BE EXACT!'.

This hand-coloured glass slide was probably used as part of the educational training package for Berlei fitting trainees.
