Interior shots of Glenhar factory (decorated to celebrate the Coronation) with shots of the cutting and sewing of ladies' fashions. Models give a fashion show of men's and women's wear produced by the factory.

Film illustrates male and female dress immediately after the war, and a fashion parade of the merchandise prior to the arrival of the continental buyers.
