Shed some of those extra Xmas Ibs with some incredible Yummie Tummie underwear!

The timing of this genious new to The Dressing Room brand Yummie Tummie is perfect!  Fair to say we may have eaten one too many mince pies over the festive period and are now stressing about fitting into some of our favourite dresses or super skinny denims!

Yummy Tummie Slip small nude front

This fabulous slip can take 5lbs off your appearance!

The brainchild behind this brand is Heather Thomson who was so disappointed with the lack of effective and attractive shapewear after the birth of her children that she was inspired to design her own.  All the pieces have an exclusive secret mid section panel which smooths, shapes and lifts without pinching, rolling, riding up or compressing your chest!  Happy days!

Designer and Founder, Heather Thomson

Yummy tummie small black front

Uber flattering body

Heather wanted to create shapewear that  could be worn every day as a foundation or layering piece.  The tanks are extra long in the body so provide coverage as you bend and both the bodies, tanks and slips are designed so that you  can wear your existing bras with them.

Shape wear often only concentrates on the tummy area but this brand clearly recognizes that so many of us have hang ups about our legs.  The leggings smooth, slim and shape your tummy, hips, thighs and bottom right down to the ankles!

Yummy tummie BM1022

I have these already and love them!

Yummy tummie BM1002 small nude back

Great to wear under any pieces in your wardrobe from jeans to tight fitting dresses.

This amazing brand is super comfy, ultra flattering gives the wearer a sexy silhouette and can reduce your appearance by up to 5lbs!  It should be an essential wardrobe staple in every women’s closet!  Now where did I leave those mince pies?!

Xmas windows-2011

Our gorgeously festive windows were featured this month in the trade press alongside Harvey Nichols and Selfridges! We think our Butter Angels look stunning!

2011 also saw the introduction of some great new brands.  There was miracle underwear from Yummie Tummie, gorgeous watches from Triwa, lush arm candy by French bag brand Sous Les Paves, uber cool Aussie brand Style Stalker, stunning dresses by T Bags Los Angeles to name just a few.  We also were thrilled to take on unique T-shirt label Simdog which was set up by Amanda Simonian after her brother sadly passed away.  The concept of Simdog is to contribute to a scholaship foundation in memory of her brother.

So there it is, our year in pics and Wow what an incredible year it’s been!    We want to thank you all for your amazing support and kind words throughout the year.  Wishing a magical 2012 to one and all!
