Yummie Tummy Shapewear Review

I loved the idea of the Yummie Tummie Shapewear collection when I first saw them. The shirts are attractive and come in a range of styles to work under lots of wardrobes. When I wore the Yummie Tummie tank top, it did work to make my silhouette look more sleek, but the top bunched and rode up like most shapewear does, so the sleek look required some discomfort and tugging.

I'll start with the things I loved about the Yummie Tummie Shapewear tank top, which was the shirt I decided to try from the fairly impressive collection. The straps are thin enough to be fashionable but thick enough to hide a bra strap, which is a must for most post-partum moms. I also like that the top and bottom of the tank was a premium cottony material that looked like a regular camisole. You could easily let this shirt stick out at the bottom or peek out from a v-neck and not let the world know you were trying to hide a post-baby belly. The tank is well made, with sturdy seams, which is nice, because since it's designed to be fairly tight, you do have to do some wrangling to get it on properly.

As promised, Yummie Tummie Shapewear does minimize the look of any post-baby imperfections. I was impressed with the "instant-hourglass" effect the tank gave under a fitted shirt.

The sleek look of the Yummie Tummie tank comes with some discomfort, though. It's almost impossible to wear a tight, slick garment without it riding up somehow, and the Yummie Tummie isn't an exception there. It slides up and bunches a bit, and I felt like I needed to tug it down pretty regularly, especially after sitting down. At one point I decided that the slim look wasn't worth all that tugging and changed to a regular cami. However, that's not exclusively a problem to this brand. You probably won't find others that accomplish the same effect that don't ride up. Other brands may be cheaper, though.

The premium fabrics, good construction and instant slimming come at a price, though. Yummie Tummie Shapewear costs $60-$80 per piece. I paid $70 for the tank top, shipped.

Yummie Tummie excels in its selection of styles and colors. Two tank styles, short- and long-sleeve t-shirts, scoop- and v-necks and nursing t-shirts are available in ten colors.
