We spoke to Maureen Noone of www.nothingtowear.ie, a consultancy service and a body-image resource for women surviving cancer, and for their caregivers and healthcare providers. Maureen provides consultations for survivors on a one to one basis, advising on body shape, hair, make-up, accessories and will even help plan your wardrobe!

Patients recovering from cancer often find their old wardrobe inappropiate, Nothing to Wear can provide assistance in a friendly and relaxed manner. With over 20 years experience in the retail industry Maureen, she is also a qualified beautician. She has been recognised by Social Entrepreneurs Ireland for her work.
