Yummie Tummie smooths away your muffin top
Filed under: CELEBRITY STYLE, Fashion, Celebrity, Best of the Season, How to Wear, Designers & Brands
By now, we know that when Oprah says something is good, it's great. Once again she hit the nail on the head when she and Heidi Klum picked Yummie Tummie to be one of Oprah's Top Picks.
Yummie Tummie is shapewear, but it's incredibly wearable. Unlike Spanx, which are vitally necessary but let's admit it, painful, Yummie Tummie tops are comfortable. At the same time, they smooth and control muffin top in a way that we hadn't realized was possible.
The creator of Yummie Tummie is Heather Thompson, a designer and celebrity stylist with clients like Beyonce and Jennifer Lopez, and she knows a thing or two about dressing curves. After struggling with the awful truth that even the most slender and fit are occasionally afflicted with muffin top, Heather went back to her roots in designing intimate apparel to come up with a solution.
The secret of the Yummie Tummie is a panel around your core that slims and smooths the minute you put it on. It's that simple - the shirt holds you in. We really couldn't believe how amazingly well it worked! Without feeling like we were strapped into a girdle, that jiggle around the middle was completely controlled.
We layered the black tank under a little cardigan and some notoriously muffin top creating jeans. The Yummie Tummie was just as comfortable as wearing a "regular" tank. Our sweater covered the midsection panel, but the neckline and bottom were visible, and undetectable as a "shaping" garment.
Being curvy, we've worn a few shapers in our time. So we were cautiously optimistic (because of the Oprah endorsement) but still braced ourselves for the bottom to creep up over our hips, the way they all do. But the shirt stayed in place, and so did our waist.
So yes, we loved it. And here's a Swear on Karl Lagerfeld's Glove Bonus True Story: in the middle of telling a friend about this amazing tank, she interrupted us by pulling up her sweater to proudly display her own Yummie Tummie. It's a movement!
The Yummie Tummie comes in ten colors and several different shapes - tank tops with wide or narrow straps, t-shirts with scoop or v-necks, and more. After trying one out, you'll be tempted to get one in every color.

Im sorry, this is about Yummy Tummies. Take your hate somewhere else. I'm sick and tired of the hate Americans show towards one another. Anyhow, anybody try this yet? Also, does anybody wear spanx? I need to get a tummy/hips/butt suck in for a bridesmaid dress in a few weeks and looking for something that is comfortable for all day wear (or until I have a few drinks and don't care!)

Amen, Medic! Couldn't have said it better!

Get a life and stop the hate. We all have a right to our opinions. Oprah has blessed her studio audience over and over again The majority of people in the audience is white. Where are you coming from? I think you need to go back to England or where ever your ancestors came from.

Oprah has every right to spend her money anywhere she wants to. she's not racist it appears that you are and for what reason you are it's not important, but remember you reap what you sow. no one on this earth is better than the other ! when it's all said and done we will all die. Hmmm seems like we are all equal.

Oh how I pity you-you sad-sad person. How could anyone in their right mind actually believe Oprah is a racist. She has every right to spend her money how she pleases. You are so jealous of her wealth and charity. Who have you helped lately? What positive difference have you contributed to the world? Her heritage is African. She is a woman. Why shouldn't she help her sisters over in the motherland? Do you know you are also black? Human kind began in Africa. We are all black just with different hues. Do your research. Finally, Obama a radical? Please! McCain is more a radical than Obama. I'm wondering if he ever gets angry and you call him a radical. Why? Is it simply because of his name. You fool. He plays the political game like a true gentleman and you racist republicans can't stand that he refuses to stoop to your low level of intelligence or lack there of. I am going to pray hard for you. You miserable soul. May God have mercy on you.

Deena, you need to get over yourself.you sound very angry.take your hate and racist views and go spew it in the ocean, you might feel better for it. By the way, Oprah is doing some good in the world for the underprivileged and this has nothing to do with Obama.Get over yourself, spread some love.

wow get a grip. Stop the racist comments.:( This article is about shape wear........

Please let me know when you are on the road, close to a school or church ( I imagine you are a devoted member of "one"), at an airport (although it doesn't sound like you have the opportunity to travel and learn about other cultures besides your very limited one), at your work, or heaven for bid hunting! which I suspect is one of your hobbies.
Have you considered anger management? You are a perfect candidate!
haha 10-01-2008 @ 12:51PM
medic you must be in the military only a military medic could be so hateful. This is about shapewear and nothing else. I dare you to say such ugly things to Michell Obama's face; she could probably take you. You are supposed to be taking care of people yet all of this poison is spewing out. Shame on you!
Erin 10-01-2008 @ 1:22PM
I agree with you completely. She is forcing Obama down our throats. I can't tolerate watching her show anymore.
Rosiered 10-01-2008 @ 1:31PM
I agree with you medic! I used to like Oprah but she is totaly racist, into the secret and actualy thinks she is a proffit. she denies God now when she used to thank him. says it is "the light" and she made her own luck. I saw this on show about the secret and I was saddened and just sickened by it. oh well she is entitled to her opinion and I am entitled to think she a nut case. I am amazed she even admits she has back fat. She must owned stock in the company.

I could not have said it any better Medic, if Obama wins I think I will apply for citizenship in Ireland or my wife's ancestors country Scotland, because this would be the worst thing that ever happened to the USA and we donot need people like Oprah shoving it down our throats.
urstupid 10-01-2008 @ 1:32PM
You're an idiot. First, Oprah does tons for America's children. She just doesn't want it flaunted in the media. She's been rebuilding homes for Katrina victims. She establishes afterschool programs and donates millions upon millions to help feed, clothe, uplift and educate America's children. And, just so you know, this was a fashion segment not a political one you jerkwad.
CHERYL 10-01-2008 @ 1:39PM
YOU ARE CRAZY, YOU SEEM TO BE THE RACIST. THE REASON YOU WON'T VOTE FOR BARRACK IS BECAUSE YOU ONLY SEE A BLACK MAN, NOT JUST A MAN. BY THE WAY HE IS HALF WHITE. SO GO AHEAD AND VOTE YOUR COLOR. IT IS SO OBVIOUS YOU EVEN LUMPED HIM IN WITH OPRAH, IS IT BECAUSE THEY ARE BOTH BLACK? OPRAH IS DOING A SHOW ON AN ENTIRE FAMILY ADDICTED TO HEROIN AND THEY ARE WHITE. BELIEVE ME SHE IS GOING TO HELP THEM SO IS THAT RACIST??? GOOD LUCK TO YO U.
Alexis 10-01-2008 @ 1:49PM
Hey it isn't the black man's fault for the white man bringing him to America. So now it should be his choice whether to stay or go, not the white man's choice.
Angie 10-01-2008 @ 4:21PM
SHUT THE HELL UP LOSER! LIKE YOU WOULD BE DOING SOMETHING I BET YOU DON'T EVEN DO SOMETHING FOR YOURSELF. YOUR A LOW LIFE LOSER WHO IS THE REAL RACIST.
