How to Look Slimmer in 10 Seconds

New Yummie Tummie Tops and Tees Can Minimize Waistlines & Hips

Whether it is to get rid of a post-baby belly or to hide excess stomach fat, Yummie Tummie tops and tees provide an affordable, practical, and fashionable solution.

Wear them alone or under other garments. The tees are perfect for this fall’s trend of layering garments. The lightweight cotton fiber has been designed so it does not cling, and so can be worn under anything.

Yummie Tummie Tops

The tops began as a US phenomenon and are now selling well on both sides to the Atlantic. Designed by celebrity stylist Heather Thompson, Yummie Tummie tees have a secret panel built-in around the waist and hips which claim to slenderize the torso and waistline. This new shapewear can be work either under T-shirts, sweaters, blouses and dresses or worn as stand-alone tops.

Working on the same principle as bodyshaper foundation garments, 8 different designs offer the chance to do-away with constricting foundation wear in favor of outerwear. The tops are comfortable enough to wear through the day and night, and are stylish enough to pass muster as part of an outer outfit without making you feel self-conscious.

Yummie Tummie Products

A simple but effective idea, the tops are available in long-sleeved and short-sleeved styles. Depending on the product, they also run a gamut of colors from black and white to nude, chocolate, ivory, pink, salmon and blue. The designs come in 2 lengths, regular and long and in various necklines. Choose from tanks, basic T-shirt, Freedom-Ts with build in shelf bra, and nursing-style tees.

Media Endorsements

The designs have received considerable media attention, not least the endorsement of Oprah Winfrey, queen of chat show hosts. The products have also been featured on The Today Show, and Entertainment Tonight and in numerous print media. The Los Angeles Times of February 21, 2008, also ran a feature saying, "The effects of Yummie Tummie are dramatic for the wearer, both physically and mentally."

Yummie Tummie Tops For Nursing Mothers

Understandably, the products are proving particularly popular with new mums. There is also a nursing version with a snap down bra panel. The bodyshaping panel on each garment is made with a microfiber that never rides up and keeps you comfortable and cool. The panel smoothes and shapes the torso area and camouflages unsightly lumps and bumps, causing the wearer to appear slimmer.

Heather Thompson - Designer

Stylist and designer Heather Thompson is the brains behind the product. She is the force behind celebrity lines such as Jennifer Lopez’s Sweetface brand and P. Diddy’s Sean John label. The idea evolved after she became frustrated with the limited (and uncomfortable) options that standard shapewear provided. According to Stylish Mums.com in their Yummie Tummie blog, within 6 months of being on the market the products have become a big hit with both celebrities and their stylists.

Designer Heather is quoted as saying “I designed and created the first Yummie Tummie out of personal need. I just knew there had to be a better and more comfortable way to feel fit and slim.”
