Reviews Summary

Shoppers keep coming back to the Athena Drape Top for its “soft and fluid” feel and the way it falls—relaxed and flattering without clinging. The crossover neckline gets consistent love for being modest and secure (“doesn’t gape”), and many mention it’s an effortless day-to-night piece for work, dinner, travel, and weekends. Fit is largely described as true to size, with a small group choosing to size down (or exchange) to get the drape sitting just right.

What Customers Love Most

  • Soft, high-quality fabric customers call “buttery soft,” “sensational,” and “beautiful”
  • Drapes/flows beautifully and feels “soft and fluid but not at all flimsy”
  • Flattering relaxed silhouette with coverage (belly cover/full coverage where needed) without clinging
  • Crossover/V-neckline that’s modest and secure—“not too low” and “doesn’t gape”
  • Versatility: easy to dress up or down; works from jeans and skirts to work-to-dinner and travel

Customers Say These Are Perfect For

  • Work days that roll straight into dinner (smart-casual without changing)
  • Travel/overseas trips and holidays (easy wardrobe piece; often bought with matching pants)
  • Everyday styling with jeans, skirts, linen pants, or wide-leg trousers
  • Women who want a flattering drape with coverage (including larger busts/EE cup and those wanting belly cover)
  • Creating a coordinated set with the Nomad/wide-leg pants—several mention it “looks like a jumpsuit”

Customer Feedback on Quality

  • Fabric repeatedly described as high-quality: “lovely and soft,” “beautiful,” “modal fabric,” and “not at all flimsy”
  • Holds up in real life use: “wash well” (some mention easy-care and travel friendliness)
  • Construction/fit details customers notice: sits well on shoulders, drapes without clinging, and neckline design “doesn’t gape”

Customer Fit Feedback

Most customers report: true to size (with some sizing down or exchanging for a smaller size to refine the drape/relaxed fit)

Multiple reviewers say it’s true to normal Australian sizing and “fits really well,” with several noting it “hangs beautifully without having to tuck in.” The crossover sits securely—“not too low,” “doesn’t gape,” and “sits just right on the shoulders.” A few customers adjusted sizing: one sized down for a better shoulder/chest fit, one returned for a smaller size, and another considered upsizing for a more relaxed fit across the back; a couple wished it was slightly longer at the front.

What Customers Say

  • "“It is light, soft and flows. Perfect for work and on to dinner after.”"
  • "“Drapes beautifully, full coverage where needed and feels so soft.”"
  • "“I’ve had so many comments, people think it’s a jumpsuit.”"

Frequently Asked Questions

Real answers based on customer reviews

Fit & Sizing

Is the Athena Drape Top actually flattering, or does it cling and show lumps?

Across 17 reviews, customers repeatedly describe the top as “flattering” with a soft drape that falls nicely rather than clinging. Multiple reviewers mention it gives comfortable coverage (including belly coverage) and hangs well over the body. People also note the fabric feels fluid but “not flimsy,” which helps it skim instead of sticking.

Based on 17 customer reviews
Does this top run true to size, or should I size up/down?

Based on 7 reviews, most customers report it’s true to typical Australian sizing and fits as expected. One reviewer sized down and loved the fit, while another suggested possibly upsizing for a more relaxed feel at the back. If you’re between sizes or want extra room through the back, a slight upsize may be worth considering.

Based on 7 customer reviews
Is it suitable for a larger bust (like DD/EE cups)?

At least 3 reviewers with larger busts specifically say it fits well, including comments like “suits my large bust perfectly” and “Perfect for size 14 EE cup.” They highlight the flattering drape and comfortable coverage through the chest. If bust fit is a concern, reviews suggest this style is a strong option.

Based on 3 customer reviews
Do I need to tuck it in, or is the length good as-is?

In 4 reviews, customers say it hangs well without needing to be tucked in and call the length “perfect.” One reviewer did wish it was a bit longer at the front, so if you prefer extra front length, that’s a possible limitation. Most, however, like that it sits nicely over jeans or pants with no fuss.

Based on 4 customer reviews

Material & Quality

How soft is the fabric—does it feel high quality?

At least 13 reviewers call the fabric exceptionally soft (including “buttery soft”) and high quality. Customers describe it as comfortable enough to become a regular “go-to” top, with a nice, fluid feel and good construction. Several people bought multiple colours because they loved the fabric so much.

Based on 13 customer reviews

Comfort

Will the crossover neckline gape or feel too low-cut?

In 6 reviews, customers specifically mention the neckline doesn’t gape and feels secure—several say they don’t have to worry about “falling out of it.” One reviewer also notes it’s “not too low,” and another liked that it gives full coverage where needed. Overall, the crossover design is described as modest but still modern.

Based on 6 customer reviews

Style & Versatility

Is it versatile—can I dress it up or keep it casual?

At least 6 reviewers describe it as easy to wear and versatile, working from casual looks (jeans) to dressier outfits. Customers mention wearing it with skirts, linen pants, or layering with a cardigan or jacket. Several call it an everyday “go-to” piece that looks polished with minimal effort.

Based on 6 customer reviews
Does it pair well with the matching wide-leg pants (and does it look like a jumpsuit)?

Across 6 reviews, customers say it pairs especially well with the brand’s wide-leg pants/trousers, with multiple people noting they’ve been told it looks like a jumpsuit or pantsuit. Reviewers describe the set as “stunning” and great for creating a smart, coordinated outfit. Several bought both pieces (and even repurchased in other colours).

Based on 6 customer reviews

Performance

Is this a good top for travel and holidays?

At least 5 reviewers mention travel/holidays specifically and say the top is ideal because it’s comfortable, easy to wear, and looks put-together. Customers report using it for travel, brunch, shopping, and general leisure. Its drape and secure neckline are also mentioned as helpful when you’re on the go.

Based on 5 customer reviews
Can I wear it for light exercise like Pilates, or is it just for everyday wear?

At least 3 reviews suggest it works beyond casual wear, including mentions of light exercise and comfortable leisure wear. One reviewer specifically said it could even be used for Pilates and still doesn’t gape despite the relaxed fit. Others describe it as comfortable enough for all-day wear and movement.

Based on 3 customer reviews

Care & Maintenance

How does it hold up in the wash—does it need ironing?

In 3 reviews, customers report it washes well and one specifically says it doesn’t need ironing. People describe it as low-maintenance and easy to keep looking good, which is part of why they repurchase. If you want to extend the life, one reviewer planned to wash gently, but overall wash feedback is positive.

The Athena drape top is a fantastic addition to my wardrobe! It fits really well and has a flattering, relaxed silhouette that’s both stylish and comfortable. The material feels soft and high-quality, with just the right amount of stretch. It drapes beautifully without clinging, making it perfect for both casual and slightly dressier outfits. Super happy with this top — definitely a go-to piece!

Athena Drape Top - Navy
I don’t normally write reviews but this clothing has become my favourite ‘go to’ for comfort and leisure. I had purchased the wide leg pants in navy and the white Athena top and loved them so much for their softness, comfort and drape that I bought the navy Athena top. I now have a smart set that I can wear for travel, brunch, shopping and light exercise. Highly recommend DharmaBums.

    Athena Drape Top - too short

    Again, I am disappointed as although the colour and material are nice, the cut and style are too short. Therefore, not

    Complimentary. Do you offer 100 💯 customer satisfaction as I won’t be wearing these tops. The Dharma pants I have purchased are great however, unless I am looked after in this transaction, I won’t be purchasing again.
