Yummie Featured in The Zoe Report

Our Ultralight Thong was featured in The Zoe Report as an essential piece for wedding season! See what our VP of Design & Merchandising, Alicia, had to say about the best options for different dress styles in the article below.

In the last few years, there’s been a real uptick in demand for sleek and smoothing underpinnings from consumers. Moving away from the restrictive corsets and padded bras of the pin-up era, the styles people seek today are both comfortable and supportive. These two qualities are especially essential when you’re searching for proper shapewear to wear during wedding season. Whether it be a pair of sculpting shorts to wear underneath your wedding guest dress or a tummy-control bodysuit to style with your bridal gown, wedding-appropriate foundation pieces should work with your body and outfit not against it…

…When it comes to searching for shapewear (which, according to a report by Grand View Research, Inc, is an industry is expected to reach $3.7 billion by 2028) to wear underneath your outfit at ceremonies and receptions, take into account the garment you’re wearing first. “For body hugging [dress] styles, it is best to wear our HW thong or brief. For plunging necklines, opt for an open bust tank or slip [like that from Yummie],” says Alicia Burns, Yummie’s VP design and merchandising expert…

…Since shapewear fits differently on everyone — TZR editors can attest to this — the best way to find what works for you is to simply try the item on. Though, both O’Brien and Burns share additional tips on finding that perfect fit. “You want to make sure that you are in the right size, do not think that going down a size will make you look slimmer,” Burns cautions. “It will in fact have the opposite effect and instead of smoothing it will cause bulging and discomfort. Also, [for those who have a shorter torso], look for more mid-waist than high-waist products.”

“For the summer months, a lighter and more breathable fabric is the best [to wear with your outfit], like our Comfortably Curved, Ultra-Light and Cotton bottom collections,” says Burns. This Yummie thong has a compression level of two, meaning it’s great for everyday shaping.
