V & Miss X came to buy a Berlei. The shop had nothing in stock for her figure type, but the new girl behind the counter was anxious to please, and showed her the next nearest fitting, and Miss X, in desperation, bought it. She never felt happy in that Berlei. She blamed the store, and Berlei, but actually she knew herself that it was not her fitting. This sad story is too often enacted nowadays. Its moral is, don't ever buy a Berlei that's the nearest to your own figure type fitting. Better to wait, or at a pinch, better to shop elsewhere. Your own store would much prefer you to do this, rather than sell you a Berlei that can never be completely satisfactory. Please remember there are plenty of Berleis for everyone, and today, with the restrictions on the use of elastic, it's vitally important you get the Berlei that's exactly right for you.
