Wear your Yummie basic with everything in your wardrobe!

Wear your Yummie basic with everything in your wardrobe!

Imagine wearing that body-skimming sweater from the back of your closet, or adding a layer to a look that you didn’t think you could pull off. That’s what Yummie Tummie is all about! Options, options, and more options…

Now that you are a Yummie, you may wonder why we introduced so many different Basic Tank styles.  Just like you have your favorite style of bra or panties to wear with different outfits, I want to show you how different Yummie Tummie basics add versatility to your wardrobe!

I continue to create new Basic Tanks to add choices and make sure you have a Yummie Tummie that you’re excited to wear with everything. The collection includes tanks that offer different strap widths, necklines, colors and prints, so you can pick the best looking and most comfortable fit for your body type, bra size, and style:

- Original Tank: it’s your everyday basic in black, white and nude, available in the full range of sizes from XS to 3X and the popular long length (perfect for layering!)

- Strappy Tank: a dressier option that looks amazing as a ladylike camisole with a sheer top or supporting you under a sweater or jacket

- Boyfriend Tank: the fun, casual vibe of a menswear-style tank, with a wider strap for great bra coverage

- Skinny Tank: a versatile tank that comes in a wide range of colors and pairs as easily with jeans or a mini-skirt and tights

- Undercover Yummie: perfect for Spring when you’re ready to shed your winter layers! Show off this new must-have tank that features soft cotton covering the shaping panel (The charcoal is my new favorite!)

- Natalie Tank: our latest style gives you an option for more conservative dressing. The wider straps and v-neck are a big hit with women who want fuller coverage in the bust. As one fan said:

Just purchased my first Natalie and it ROCKS! I have 6-7 other Yummie’s and this one is my absolute favorite. Being a bit busty, I have had issues with the “see through” cotton on the top but not so with the new stretch fabric!! I am going to have to buy more of these - for sure!

And whichever style you love to put on in the morning, the slimming midsection panel turns an everyday outfit into your favorite look.  Remember ladies, it’s having options that will keep your closet new and yummie!

Stay Yummie!

yt-slippie-black1Your newest under-dress option, the Slippie smoothes and shapes your tummie, hips and thigh. The high-waist design comes up to your bust, pair it with the bra of your choice!

How to wear it: Under your favorite dress, with your favorite bra.

The design of the Slippie lets you wear it with every style of neckline, from a strapless sundress, to a sexy halter, to a trendy one shoulder gown. And because the Slippie curves where you curve, you’ll always look your slimmest, smoothest best!




Slip into the Slippie for Instant Sexy Slimming!

how-to-wear-the-slippie-newsletterWhether it’s Wednesday morning or Saturday night, you want your outfit to make you feel fabulous from the inside out. Every new Yummie style is based on the idea that what you put on under your clothes makes you feel your sexy, shapely best!

Just in time for spring dress season, I’ve added a new choice for you to slide under every dress in your wardrobe: the Slippie, a slinky, sexy, high-waisted slip that slims and smoothes your tummie, hips and thighs — 5 pounds, gone just like that!

The thing I love most about this piece is that it is utterly chic and versatile, and so easy to wear! You can pair the Slippie with any bra, which gives you the fashion power to rock every style of neckline, from a sexy plunging v-neck wrap to a trendy one arm-ed sheath.

Add the Slippie to your wardrobe and enjoy watching your outfit options multiply before your eyes!   And continue to Show it off!

Stay Yummie!

Yes, It Really Does Work!

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

before-after2

Lately I’ve been in dressing rooms with women all over the world, from New York to Berlin, Amsterdam and London, then back to Boston, Chicago and Toronto, doing Yummie Tummie fashion shows and fittings.

Everywhere I go, women ask me the same question: Does Yummie Tummie really work?

The answer, from me, and everyone who tries on one, is “Yes, it absolutely does!”

Again and again in dressing rooms, I see the same surprise, and then joy, when a woman puts on a Yummie Tummie for the first time and goes from being a before to an after. First you can’t believe such a pretty, comfortable garment, with no pinching, squeezing or rolling, can make you look and feel so good. And then you fall in love with it!

I invented Yummie Tummie for real, regular women. The design is in the details and I designed this to be sexy, comfortable, sophisticated, and to do what it says it is going to do - make you feel and look better in your clothes, on every occasion.

Pictures are worth a thousand words, and the “before and after” image above is of a real woman, who came to our photoshoot in her real clothes. We simply added an Original Yummie Tummie Tank to her outfit, and you can see the results! Yummie Tummie smoothes and slims your midsection to help put your best look forward!

One sure way to find out is to try it for yourself - you will be convinced! As one Yummie Tummie fan recently said on Twitter, “I may never wear anything without the @YummieTummie tank again.”

Whether you go for the ladylike Strappy Tank under a romantic top, the bold Lady Leopard Undercover Yummie with a sexy pencil skirt, or the flirty Ruffle Top with skinny jeans and boots, always remember to show it off!

Stay Yummie!

Lady Leopard Undercover

This time of year I like to take the whole month of February to tell all of the sweethearts in my life - my kids, Jax and Ella, my mom, my sister and most of all, my amazing husband! - how very much they mean to me.

I also make a point of thanking my best girlfriends for always being there, through thick and thin. And I remind everyone to take a moment to treat the most important person in your life - YOU!

Whether your idea of something special is a box of candy, a night out dancing, a glass of red wine, beautiful pink flowers or an hour of blissful quiet in the tub, remember to give yourself a Valentine.

You deserve it!

Here are some of our yummiest Valentine’s Day treats for you and someone you love! And what’s not to love… because after the chocolate, after the kissing, after the celebration - these keep on giving!

  • Stay sweet with the romantic new slimming Camie Pantie in black or nude
  • Release your wild side and feel smooth with the Leopard Undercover
  • Tempt with a glimpse of the must have Peek-a-Boo Cami slip, or be daring and wear it as a dress all by itself!
  • Go edgy and gaga (like Lady Gaga!) with the show it off Yummie Tummie Thong in black over hot red tights
  • Show your sophisticated sensuality with a black Strappy Tank under a classic or boyfriend blazer with a chunky red necklace

Stay Yummie!

Yummie Tummie Basic Tank

Yummie Tummie Basic Tank

Happy New Year and TGI 2010! We’re all ready for a new decade and a fresh start.

After a crazy busy year, I seriously indulged over the holidays. Right now I’m very grateful that I invented Yummie Tummie. The Original Tank is my oh-so-reliable best friend!

Whether I’m feeling my most fit or having one of those days, Yummie Tummie basics always smooth, support, and help me feel good about myself. That confidence makes it a lot easier to tackle my New Year’s resolution to finally find balance between family, work, friends and me time (if there is such a thing!)

In addition to wearing your trusty Yummie Tummie Tank, here are three of my favorite style tips for camouflaging all those holiday indulgences:

  • Dress all in one dark color - it creates a flowing line and elongates your appearance
  • High heels - it’s a classic trick: you look taller and skinnier in an instant
  • Bright accessories - a great necklace or armful of bangles draws the eyes up and out, plus they are cheerful fun on a grey winter day!

Thank you for an amazing 2009, and stay tuned: we have lots of exciting new styles for spring, summer and beyond that are going to keep you feeling Yummie in 2010….

Stay Yummie!




Go Long for Versatility and Style!

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

boyfriend8With cold winter days here, we’ve all been bundling up, and rocking lots of long layers. The look is chic, flattering, and keeps you warm!

One of the reasons I designed my tank in a longer version was to make sure that women of every height and size could have Yummie Tummie choices.  Whether you’re tall with a long torso, or on the shorter side, everyone has an outfit that benefits from a few extra inches of fabric!

A long Yummie Tummie tank is perfect peeking out from under a fitted shirt or funky fur vest. You get the style points – and toasty warmth! — of the layered look without adding bulk.

Match up a long Boyfriend tank with skinny jeans, knee high boots, your boyfriend blazer and a chunky knit scarf in a festive red or frosty blue. The sleek, long lines will have you looking slim and confident all season long!

And low-rise jeans are here to stay, but they sure do have a way of sneaking down! A long original Tank, tucked securely into my jeans and topped with a cozy sweater, makes sure I’m covered no matter how many ways I move around!

Try your favorite Yummie Tummie in long and see how it adds a new dimension to your wardrobe!

Stay warm and yummie!
