Customer Reviews
Reviews Summary
Customers describe this as an easy, elegant top that looks “dressy whilst being comfortable,” thanks to its fluid drape and soft, high-quality feel. It’s repeatedly praised for being flattering without being “baggy and daggy,” with thoughtful coverage through the bust and underarm area so it doesn’t gape or need constant adjusting. Many end up repurchasing in several colours and wear it everywhere—from office days under a blazer to holidays with matching wide-leg pants.
What Customers Love Most
- Buttery-soft / silky-soft fabric that feels great against the skin
- Flattering drape and “falls beautifully” without looking bulky
- Versatility: easily dressed up or down (work, casual, dinner)
- No-gape crossover/neckline with a modesty stitch (secure at the bust)
- Easy-care travel fabric (wash & wear / no ironing required for many)
Customers Say These Are Perfect For
- Office wear under a blazer or jacket (polished, not too plunging)
- Travel and holidays (plane outfit, overseas trips, mix-and-match capsule)
- Dressing up wide-leg pants (especially matching Nomad/wide leg modal pants) for a set that looks like a jumpsuit/pant suit
- Women who want a flattering top that “hides lumps and bumps” without feeling frumpy
- Days that go from work to dinner/drinks without changing
Customer Feedback on Quality
- Fabric described as “not flimsy,” “much thicker than I expected,” and “really good quality” while still draping fluidly
- Holds up well for frequent wear with reports of “washes well” and being a reliable high-rotation staple; many buy multiple colours
- Construction details customers notice: “little modesty stitch” to prevent gaping, good armholes/underarm coverage, and a hem that sits at the waist so there’s “no having to tuck in”
Customer Fit Feedback
A large group says it’s true to size (with examples like AU 10 = S, AU 12 = M, AU 12–14 = L), while others swap sizes after trying it on. Some size up specifically to get “the lovely drape” and a bit more front length or room through the bust/underarms; others size down because the top feels “very roomy.” Repeated feedback notes the front can sit high/short (especially on taller or long-torso customers), sometimes exposing belly when reaching—many recommend pairing with high-waisted pants/skirts or choosing a size for extra length.
What Customers Say
- "“Athena drape top hides all my imperfections but without looking baggy and daggy.”"
- "“I love how it doesn’t gape… I love that my bra strap doesn’t show… I love that I don’t have to iron it.”"
- "“Perfect for work and on to dinner after.”"
Frequently Asked Questions
Real answers based on customer reviews
Fit & Sizing
Does this top run true to size, or should I size up/down?
Most reviewers found the sizing true to standard Australian sizing and were happy ordering their usual size (including AU 10 in Small and AU 12 in Medium). However, a noticeable group sized up to get a more relaxed drape or a bit more length at the front, especially if they prefer stomach coverage. A smaller number exchanged down after initially ordering larger, so if you're between sizes, your preference for a closer vs drapier fit seems to be the deciding factor.
Based on 18 customer reviewsIs the top short or cropped—will it cover my tummy?
Several customers mention the front can sit quite high/waist-length, and some taller or long-torso wearers said it felt shorter than expected (a few noted belly exposure when lifting arms). Many said it works best with high-waisted pants/skirts, and some found sizing up helped with length and coverage. Others (including petite shoppers around 153–155 cm) felt it sat well and was the “perfect length,” so length can depend on height and torso length.
Based on 16 customer reviewsIs it flattering if I have a bigger bust (or want good bust coverage)?
Many reviewers specifically mentioned it works well for larger busts, including comments from DD/EE-cup shoppers and those wanting more coverage without looking baggy. People liked the drape and the way it skims the body, with some sizing up for extra room through the bust. Overall, the feedback suggests it’s designed to be modest, supportive in coverage, and still flattering.
Based on 10 customer reviewsDoes the hem ride up, and is it meant to be tucked in?
Most reviewers loved that it sits at the waist and said they don’t need to tuck it in, with some noting an elastic/finished hem that helps it sit neatly. A smaller set of reviewers mentioned the hemline can ride up and is best with high-waisted pants (or layering with an under-top if that bothers you). If you’re concerned about ride-up, sizing up or choosing higher-waisted bottoms was a common workaround mentioned in reviews.
Based on 5 customer reviewsComfort
Does the neckline gape or feel too low at the chest?
A common callout is that it doesn’t gape—reviewers repeatedly mention a discreet stitch/construction that keeps the crossover secure. Multiple customers said they didn’t need to keep adjusting at the cleavage and felt comfortable leaning over without worrying. Several also noted it’s “not too low,” offering modest coverage for both larger and smaller busts.
Based on 12 customer reviewsDoes it hide lumps, bumps, or a tummy without looking boxy?
A strong theme is that the drape is forgiving—reviewers say it “hides imperfections,” “lumps and bumps,” and disguises the tummy while still looking polished. Customers described it as flattering rather than oversized, thanks to how it falls and the controlled drape at the front. If you’re buying mainly for tummy coverage, some reviewers recommend pairing it with high-waisted bottoms or sizing up slightly for more front coverage.
Based on 9 customer reviewsWill it show my bra straps, and how are the armholes/underarm fit?
Multiple customers loved that bra straps don’t show and said the shoulder coverage is well designed. Reviewers also repeatedly praised the underarm/armhole cut, noting it doesn’t sag or gape and the armholes aren’t too big. This seems to be a standout construction detail for comfort and a more “finished” look.
Based on 10 customer reviewsMaterial & Quality
What’s the fabric like—soft, thick, flimsy, breathable?
Most reviews describe the fabric as exceptionally soft, silky/smooth, and “luxurious,” with a fluid drape that looks elegant. Several customers were pleasantly surprised it wasn’t flimsy, and a few noted it felt thicker than expected. One reviewer mentioned the thickness may not be ideal in humid climates, so it may suit shoulder seasons, air-conditioned offices, and layering especially well.
Based on 11 customer reviewsIs the fabric see-through, especially in lighter colours like white?
Reviewers who commented on opacity said the fabric is not see-through, and several people purchased white and were happy with the coverage and drape. The general feedback describes the material as not flimsy, which likely helps with opacity. If you prefer extra security, some customers also mentioned being comfortable without needing a singlet for modesty due to the neckline construction.
Based on 4 customer reviewsStyle & Versatility
Can I dress this top up for work and still wear it casually?
Reviewers consistently describe it as a “work to weekend” staple—easy to dress up with a blazer/jacket, jewelry, and tailored pants, or dress down with jeans, skirts, shorts, and even sneakers. Several mentioned wearing it to the office and getting compliments, and others said it looks classy without feeling formal. Many bought multiple colours specifically because it works across so many occasions.
Based on 20 customer reviewsDoes it look good as a matching set with the pants (and which bottoms work best)?
Many reviewers rave about pairing it with the brand’s wide-leg or straight-leg pants, with several saying the combo looks like a jumpsuit or a “pant suit.” Customers also frequently mentioned it works well with high-waisted trousers and skirts because of the waist-length cut and hem finish. Beyond the matching set, reviewers also liked it with jeans and linen pants for an easy elevated casual look.
Based on 10 customer reviewsPerformance
Is this top good for travel—does it pack well and work for flights?
Many customers bought it specifically for travel and said it’s comfortable enough for flights while still looking smart. Several reviewers highlighted it as “great travel fabric,” describing it as easy-care and suitable for building a capsule/travel wardrobe. People also liked how it pairs with matching pants for a pulled-together set when traveling.
Based on 12 customer reviewsCare & Maintenance
Does it need ironing, and how does it handle washing?
A number of reviewers said it doesn’t need ironing and described it as crease-proof/easy-care, especially for travel. At least one reviewer had the opposite experience and found their top creased more than expected, so results may vary depending on how it’s washed/dried or packed. One reviewer also noted the set washes well, reinforcing that gentle care may help it stay looking its best.
Based on 6 customer reviewsValue
How easy are returns/exchanges if I get the size wrong?
Several customers described doing exchanges/returns to find the right size and said the process was very easy, friendly, and well supported. A few explicitly mentioned paid return postage and good communication/customer service. If you’re unsure between sizes, reviewers’ experiences suggest you can buy with more confidence knowing exchanges were straightforward.
