Aviva took our breath away walking the runway at the Yummie Fashion Show – she was radiant, confident, and absolutely inspirational in fashion meets function slimming styles. What an amazing way to end the season with tributes to the Housewives life changing charities, including the Kellner Liver Foundation, which is so near and dear to Heather’s heart.
Bravo may have had to cut it short to fit the finale, but we’ve got the full Yummie Fashion Show right here for you! Peek behind the scenes, see Aviva rock the Tispora Tank, Briefie, and Analeigh Blazer, and watch our models glide down the runway in Heather’s favorite fall fashion styles to Grammy Award winning violinist Miri Ben-Ari – all to raise awareness and funds for organ donation.
Good job Heather
Great job Heather! Loved getting to see you on RHONY this season and hope to see more of you and your fabulous style next season.
xoxo
Love you! But wondering why all the models where or are skinny Minnie’s? For some one like me who is a 38 DD and aside 14 it makes me a little Leary that this stuff. Is for small women?
Love you Heather. You are my favorite housewife, but I, too, wondered why the models chosen were girls who didn’t need the support your clothing line claims it provides
Loved the video…love the show…love the music! But where is Aviva?!?
Lisa abhram~. I too am a 38D (full) and a size 14… Believe you me they are worth every dollar I spent! I LOVE the boot cut jeans!! I have several tanks and shorties I can even wear the longer shorties with the jeans!! I am Saving my change now for the Lois Dress, the Liz Slip, the Blazer and boot cut leggings! And what Aviva Drescher wore tonight… It will be a lot of saving, as my order came to close to 478$ plus shipping! But I will get there, as a woman who works for very little pay, I can’t afford the whole line at once of course, but I WILL somehow some way get my wardrobe and my well being (by looking Yummie) accomplished one day!!
Holla!!
Heather…. LOVED the fashion show – even though Aviva took off the jacket, lol. I want to say that I am excited about buying my first piece of Yummie shapewear! BUT… I’m wondering why you had all those hungry looking stick figures in your fashion show!! Why no “healthy” sized women, like me – who are a size 14 and really need your Yummies?? Will they really work for a woman like me?
See you next season, hopefully!
Heather, you are the most down to earth housewife on the show! We can all relate to you more than the others. I do have one question for your business….will you ever consider a line for plus sizes (14-24)??? There are so many of us out here who would love to buy your designs but are left out in sizing. Also, I would love to see designers use plus size women with real bodies as examples for their designs. I’m sure I speak for a whole market of fashion conscious women!
Heather, I am a size 8 and your shape-wear didn’t work for me. Sorry to say but it didn’t stay in place and I spent the entire day pulling down and adjusting. I love you on the show.
Heather, I have several of your products. They are WAY better than the crap you can by in a department store for the same purpose. The Yummy Tummy items that I own are slimming, but still let me breathe. Great job, but I’d like to see atleast a size 8 model, as well.
Thanks Jen! We are happy that you are enjoying them. stay tuned as we continue to launch more exciting fabrics and styles!
Maria – Are you sure you purchased the correct size. Sometimes if you buy too large the items will rise up. let us know what you purchased and we might be able to help?
hi Judy – We are working on expanding our plus collection. We want to be a brand for all women – size XS – 3X. Stay tuned as we continue to role out more and more! Right now we have a small assortment on our plus page, have you had any success with these items? http://www.yummielife.com/plus-size-shapewear.html
hi Patricia – Yummie Tummie is a brand for all women. We design products for Xs-3X. Runway models are exactly that, meant for the runway. We put together the fashion show for entertainment and excitement! We wanted to show fashion and function and that shapewear can be seen (it’s no longer your dirty little secret!). We understand that all women where our product and for this one production decided to use runway models. We have done alot of photoshoots with size 8+ and defintely believe in expanding more and more. Our garments will def work for a size 14 and our goal is to make you look as great as you feel. Hopefully the show brought you a sense of enjoyment, the models were wearing shapewear and laughing and smiling – think wow, not ow!
hi Lisa – Thanks for a lovely note! We do have sales periodically so stay tuned! We are loving that you are really enjoying the concept of clothes with shaping built-in! Holla back!
Heather, great job! You are a breath of fresh air on the HW and I love your line of slimwear! As a single mom, Yummie gave me the incentive to slim down from a size 12 to a 2, Holla! I still love wearing your line of feel good day and evening wear! It is Yummie for women of all sizes and shapes. Thank you! Keep being real and authentic!
Please stop saying GD!!! Please you are on tv!!!
I love your products…have a couple of items. I was afraid an XS would be too small but it was true to your size chart. The fashion show was excellent. However, that entitled prima-donna Aviva should have worn the jacket as you directed her…it was YOUR show. She is so self absorbed. She needs to “let it go” with her dad. He’s a sleazy old man. Hardly qualifies for her degree of sensitivity towards him. He has a foul mouth and no respect for women. She says “shame on Ramona.” I say, “shame on her”. I am sick of her rehashing the subject over & over. Stop already! You and Carole are the most well adjusted of the housewives in my humble opinion.
Hi; I just received the original cami top,I tried it on and was disappointed in the fit. I am a size 8-10 depending on the cut, but I am full busted and meaty around the middle. I was hoping that the cami would provide a smoother line than it does, I wonder if the size is off or if it’s fitting as it should.
The necklaces on the models are fantastic!!! Where are they from??
Hey Zoe! All of the necklaces were designed and made by Good Charma!
Heather, you’ve been the most outstanding woman on the show. I lost my young husband (51) because there was no organ that came soon enough for him. We waited 2 years while he slowly wasted away. That was 4 years ago. we were married for 30 years and have 2 beautiful children. I admire you for your strength in getting out the word about how bad it is in this country for the lack of organs. I hope I will see my way to do volunteer work in this field soon, it still hurts me so bad at this time, I even cried watching your beautiful son at the doctors. Your so very blessed and an amazing giving woman. My best to your beautful family, Jane
Heather – loved you on this Season! You are an inspiration and your children have an great role model in their Mom:) AND…I have ordered a couple Yummie Tummie’s – and LOVE THEM!!!!!
i love to watch your show you are great and your clothes fit me gtreat and iiai am a 14 too. but aviA IS CRAZY she is all about her self…
Heather
Your show was great; I love love love your line. I sorry the Aviva did not follow your instructions and wear the jacket. You handled it with grace, took the high road and displayed a wonderful positive attitude. You are an inspiration. Holla!
since someone from the brand seems to be keeping an eye on the comments, as a tall lady, I’d like ask if tall slips with a couple of extra inches have ever been considered? My guess is the short ladies have wondered the same thing in the other direction. (In fact, the sales associate at the department store and I had a bit of a laugh over it).
I’ve only worn two shapewear brands so far in my life, and Yummie is by far the more comfortable of the two. But, I’m tall. A full slip under a dress, and after an hour or two, it’s risen up much higher than I think it’s expected to (practically to the edge of my undies).
I’ve sometimes wondered why people would ever want to go on a Real Housewives show. I think HT really did her business a good turn. HT seems like a good egg. I hadn’t heard of Yummie before the show.
I’m confused on how to order a tank the sizing chart doesn’t include bust sizesi’m a 38dd would that be considered a large
I too agree that many of your models are borderline anorexic thin looking. The bust lines on your “shapewear” is somewhat shapeless and didn’t look supportive on the already thin models, and as a 36C I am hesitant to try your products. Also, I am a big fan of one piece bodysuit shapewear with a bit more bust shaping cups, as separates seem to move and bulge (ripple?) with wear, and your website doesn’t seem to have any options in that department. Might have to stick with the tried and true shapewear brands?? Please consider the older less than perfect woman (although I am not overweight and in decent shape…I am softer ,lol)in your future designs, with an eye on keeping it feminine. On a side note, I love NYH and think you are a refreshing addition of honesty and cutting truth in a sea of narcissistic, self centered, egotistical blowhard women! Keep up the good work!
Eloquently & accurately stated….thank you.
I love how “no nonsense” you are Heather.

All of our tanks have descriptions indicating what size bust they will comfortably fit. The Strappy Tank only comfortably fits up to a D, whereas the Girlfriend Tank fits up to a size H. If you buy your tank to fit your bust, it will be too big and won’t work for you. Measure your waist and go by that.
Tallie,
The silicone at the bottom of the slips should be gripping you around your thighs and should prevent the slip from riding up. If that is not the case with you, your slip may be too big.
Jane,
We are very sorry for your loss.
Great fashion show, wonderful pieces…but hey, where is Aviva? The description said she was in there but didn’t see her. LOL – I wonder if Heather had it edited to remove her because Aviva didn’t wear the jacket, too funny!!!
I also watched the fashion show on HouseWives. I was so excited to try Yummie, but there was a statement made to Aviva that struck a very negative cord with me. Heather mentioned to Aviva that she needed to give more attitude!!! Then went on to say there is a “Black Woman” inside of you. Me being a “Black Woman” and an educated one, saw that statement as a very subtle racial slur!!!! Not all Black Women give attitude!!! I know what is represented on all these Black Women reality shows, but it does not speak for all Black Women!!!! I find it very hard to support a company that has a CEO, Founder etc. that does not have enough respect to refrain from using racial comments when refereing to how a certain race of people’s behavior is perceived!!!!!
Hi Kristina,
I thought that comment was out of line as well. In my mind I thought she was telling her to get some rhythm. Aviva will never be a Tyra Banks! Aviva has attitude…BAD attitude. It was a racial slur however. I hope she apologizes to women of color…all women actually. I didn’t like it either.
Heather, u r my idol, u have the class and smarts of all the women onthe show .I come from the corp. world myself,and I use to think men where the worst to work with, but women are the hardest, and the ladies on housewives, take the cake and you never bring yourself down to thier level. Don’t leave the show. I just think u r the greatest

I love the concept, but also am a size 16 an been trying to find some great shapewear that it not uncomfortable.
The models are not everyday women….we size 12 and up we like to be sexy also.
I have a fabulous idea for improvement!! Please give me a chance to share it!! Thank you….love the products!!
