Flatter Yourself with "The Girls" Yoga Wear.

October 15, 2009

I have a uniform. It's the "work-at-home-mom" uniform and I don't often stray from it. It consists of yoga pants, a tank top, and typically a cute sweatshirt of some kind. It doesn't look messy, and it doesn't scream "I've Given Up" in the way sweatpants do. But it's comfortable, reasonably fashionable, and I can count on it each and every day.

I sometimes even wear a body shaper under my "outfit", if my top is fitted. After all, gotta prove to those preschool moms that I'm actually exercising during those three hours between drop-off and pick-up. ;) But if I miss a day, there's now an alternative. And it's called The Girls. Cute name, right? After all, isn't it typically your girls who've got your back no matter what? And they do in this case too.

The Girls is a yoga-wear line, not unlike the stuff I wear, but it actually has tummy control. YES! Tummy control!! For those of us with leftover baby pooches (and maybe some stuff from before baby - ssshhh!) who wouldn't mind a touch of help with our - ahem - problem area. And unlike your grandmother's girdle, this stuff is built right in so other than a mild shimmy to get them on, you'll never even know it's there other than the potential for a little extra confidence.

There are a bunch of styles which include pants, shorts, and tops. I tried the boot cut pant and the short-sleeve top. I thought the concept was great. Really, fabulous. The clothes are comfortable, and definitely do what they say they do. My only complaints are that the black didn't stay black enough for me post-wash (I'm a total stickler for this), but the affordable price point ($34.99 for the boot cut) make this item totally worth it. My other piece of advice would to be order up a size on the tops. I'm pretty much religiously a medium, but I found the top really stuck to my body in a way that didn't appeal to me, so I gave it to my slightly smaller friend who is enjoying it profusely. Again - price point on this line - absolutely in line.

Great review! I also wear a lot of yoga wear, and I was not aware of this company or tummy control yoga wear. What a great idea. Besides the items you reviewed, I really like Farrah's Foldover Yoga Capris. Very cute!
