“I was looking for a stylish wrap top to flatter my shape and hide my tummy,” says Connemara-based Patricia O’Toole. “I searched the internet for months and couldn't find one for sale anywhere! I then thought how great it would be to create a flattering clothing line with a design focus on minimizing the tummy area. And so, Beautiful You Collection was conceived - elegant clothing for REAL women with comfortable built-in shapewear.”
Wearing ‘shapewear’ can be uncomfortable, unsexy and well, pretty much leaves us feeling like we're being sucked in to within an inch of our lives. This torture is usually reserved for those black tie events or weddings when you sacrifice comfort (and the ability to breathe properly) to create the illusion of the perfect silhouette.
Beautiful You is a super-savvy solution to this dilemma for everyday dressing. It's a selection of classic slimming wardrobe staples with easy to wear internal support. Each of the skirts, dresses, tops and palazzo pants includes a stretchy lining (made from Meryl and Lycra) to smooth and slim the silhouette. The carefully-chosen fabrics flow with the curves of the body providing support for the tummy area and enhancing the natural shape of the body.
