I love Heather Thomson's Yummie items, first of all the prices are very reasonable, and you get a lot for your money..........I wonder now if she wishes she would have stayed on RHNY...That is too bad, she seems like a very smart woman!


Hi Candle.  They actually are not reasonably priced until they go to clearance prices--at least imo.  Yes, some of her TS's were reasonably priced but everyday items were high!!


Hi Winamac! I guess I was comparing to Spanx, because I always thought Yummie was cheaper than Spanx. I stocked up on Yummie, months ago when they were frist on clearance.........I also see Yummie at our local DSW!


Hi Candle!  How are you?  Yes, I remember you posting about the sale, and YES...those prices were awesome.  And, I agree..Spanx is pricey!  Thanks!!!

Yummie never fit me.  I like Rhonda's lace trimmed panty.  They don't roll much on me.  However, I have lots of her stretchy nylon bras. & never put them in the dryer, but some have elastic thread popping out.

I just saw her promo on evine for the copper stuff. Wonder if she'll be bringing her yummie also? Or perhaps it's still in litigation and she can't sell it anywhere?

Re: Heather Thomson - Tommie Copper

I love the Yummie line and was sad when I saw she was not going to be on HSN anymore.  I certainly took advantage of the sale prices and stocked up on tons of leggings and tanks.  I wear them almost everyday and dreaded the thought of being without them.  I hope she brings them to Evine eventually.

She has a website you can buy from but this whole venture on Evine seems  a little odd to me.

Yes but they run really small. I wear a size 4 and  ordered medium and had to return them. I felt stuffed in like a sausage lol. So maybe the size zero's out there can wear her xs and sm. 


Exactly why I specified 'If you wear a xs or small  Yummie legging'. The sizing isn't what most are used to! I wear an xl Yummie - but  wear a medium in most other clothes.

Anyone interested in the Spanx camo leggings, they are in as is now.  The black camo has more sizes, but the green ones are available in L and XL.

Re: Heather Thomson - Tommie Copper

I agree with those who have been dissatisfied with Rhonda Shearer.  Not all that long ago, her Ahh brand had really improved in quality from the debut version. Other items I tried were overall satisfactory too.  In 2015, the Ahh Bras I purchased were a complete flimsy dissapointment.  I have not ordered again.  

 

I realize one example isn't a full picture, but there really isn't much to quibble about regarding the price of Spanx vs Yummie.  At regular prices, both are on the high end of the spectrum. 

 

Basic Spanx Shaping Leggings $68

I would also include Lysse in this category of higher quality shaping/leggings. Of these 3 I prefer Lysse, and it's a brand now offered by HSN. Only 1 TS so far, hopefully more in 2017. I'm tracking the TS legging to see if it would be available at a clearance price. I bought 2 of the TS and they are the same quality as sold directly by Lysse or Nordstrom.

@Chi-town girl as of June, 2016 that is not the case.  Can you provide a link or something on where you read this?  Thanks.
