Don't Shrink to Fit: Empowering and Inspiring women, one story at a time.
Changing the silhouette of "SHAPEWEAR" culture one woman at the time
Susie Taaffe is the CEO and founder of Skanties anti-shapewear, dedicated to empowering women to embrace their natural form, reject unnatural beauty standards, and celebrate their unique and beautiful bodies.
When Susie's marriage unexpectedly crumbled four years prior, she took life’s harsh blow as a massive call to action. Suddenly a single mother with three young kids under the age of 5, Susie used her previous manufacturing contacts and design experience to turn her anti-shapewear idea into a global business. Known as Pettipants Underwear by Missy Massy in Australia, these unique undergarments combine comfort, style, and practicality, offering women a revolutionary clothing item that promotes body positivity and self-love.
Under Susie's leadership, Missy Massy's innovative approach to fashion and body image has garnered recognition. In 2023, they were finalists in the Championing Health category at the prestigious Telstra Business Awards. Additionally, Susie was the proud recipient of the 2022 Brisbane Lord Mayor’s Women in Business Grant. Having launched Skanties in the U.S. market in 2023, Susie continues to expand this global movement, remaining dedicated to helping women reclaim their feminine power through fashion, and to empower people to love themselves from the inside out.
Susie was named as one of the Top 30 Personalities Disrupting The Fashion Industry In 2022 and can be seen in New York Weekly, Grazia, The NYC Journal, A Women’s Bible, ‘Tude Talk TV, and more.
“There is a lot of talk about fashion being comfortable and easy these days, but why is it that when it comes to undergarments, we are still supposed to suck in our stomachs, tuck in our love handles and contort our bodies into shapes that are anything but comfortable?” Susie Taafe

You are feeling drained
You have lost your passion
You are lost on the many roles you play everyday

You feel empty!
You feel guilty when you make yourself a priority
You feel you are on a hamster wheel
Everyday is the same!
You have lost that spark you once had
You are tired of the same old thing
You don't know where to start!
