History
The concept for Yummie by Heather Thomson stemmed from Thomson’s personal desire to shed her excess baby weight after giving birth. Upon visiting department stores and not being able to find a shapewear product that worked for her body, Heather leaned on her years of design experience and developed the brand’s signature patented 3-panel tank, thereby marking the foundation for the Yummie by Heather Thomson brand. Realizing that if she needed it, other women would need it too, Thomson sought out to identify the problem areas that women might have. In turn, she developed shapewear solutions that work for all body types. In launching Yummie by Heather Thomson in 2010, Thomson filled a void in women’s wardrobes by expanding her shapewear collection to include ready-to-wear.
Yummie by Heather Thomson currently has distribution agreements in the United States, Philippines, United Kingdom, Ireland, Italy, Canada, Germany, Switzerland, Australia and Austria as well as extensive sales in the Benelux and more than 20 other countries.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“I am ashamed to see what a shallow village tale our so-called History is. How many times must we say Rome, and Paris, and Constantinople! What does Rome know of rat and lizard? What are Olympiads and Consulates to these neighboring systems of being? Nay, what food or experience or succor have they for the Esquimaux seal-hunter, or the Kanaka in his canoe, for the fisherman, the stevedore, the porter?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“It may be well to remember that the highest level of moral aspiration recorded in history was reached by a few ancient Jews—Micah, Isaiah, and the rest—who took no count whatever of what might not happen to them after death. It is not obvious to me why the same point should not by and by be reached by the Gentiles.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“Throughout the history of commercial life nobody has ever quite liked the commission man. His function is too vague, his presence always seems one too many, his profit looks too easy, and even when you admit that he has a necessary function, you feel that this function is, as it were, a personification of something that in an ethical society would not need to exist. If people could deal with one another honestly, they would not need agents.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
