Yitty
Lizzo's size-inclusive shapewear brand -- fusing compression with self-love, XS to 6X
The Brand That Turned Shapewear Into Self-Celebration
Yitty launched on April 12, 2022, after nearly three years of development by Lizzo (born Melissa Jefferson) in partnership with Fabletics. Named after the Grammy-winning singer's childhood nickname, Yitty represents something the shapewear industry had never attempted: compression garments designed not to hide the body but to celebrate it. Where traditional shapewear marketing has traded in shame — promising to "fix" and "conceal" — Yitty's messaging centers on radical self-love, confidence, and the idea that shapewear should make you feel powerful in your skin, not apologetic about it.
What Makes Yitty Different
Lizzo didn't license her name to a shapewear company; she built one from the ground up. The three-year development process involved extensive fit testing across the full size range (XS through 6X from day one, not added later), collaboration with Fabletics' supply chain expertise, and Lizzo's personal insistence that every piece had to feel as good in a 6X as it did in an XS. The result is shapewear with graduated compression that smooths without restricting breathing or movement, available in bold colors and prints that reject the industry's beige-and-black default. The debut collection launched with three distinct lines: "Nearly Naked" for seamless shaping, "Mesh Me" for transitional under-to-outerwear pieces, and "Major Label" for everyday lifestyle designs.
Key Product Lines
Nearly Naked provides invisible-under-clothing compression in bodysuits, shorts, and tanks. Mesh Me features mesh panels and cutout details designed to be worn as outerwear. Major Label covers everyday basics with light support. The brand has since expanded into Shaping Swim and gender-affirming shapewear, the latter developed in consultation with the trans and nonbinary community to provide safe, effective compression garments.
Who Yitty Is Best For
Yitty is for anyone who wants shapewear that empowers rather than diminishes. The XS-to-6X range makes it one of the most size-inclusive shapewear brands in existence, and the bold colorways and outerwear-ready designs appeal to anyone who sees compression garments as part of their style, not something to hide. The gender-affirming line also serves a community that most shapewear brands have ignored entirely.
Price and Sizing
Pieces range from $24.95 to $69.95, with Fabletics VIP membership offering additional discounts. Sizes from XS through 6X, making Yitty one of the broadest size ranges available in shapewear at any price point.
