Irish women covering up arms, despite warm weather

Irish women are so concerned about showing their arms during the warm summer months, that nearly one third will wear long-sleeved tops to hide them, according to a new survey.

The study, conducted by Redc Research for Slendertone, showed that 32% of Irish women admitted they try to cover their arms as much as possible, due to the poor image they have of them, with women aged 45-54 as the most likely concealers.
