Customer Reviews
Reviews Summary
Shoppers keep calling this their “new favourite top” because it feels incredibly soft, hangs with an elegant drape, and somehow manages to look both relaxed and put-together. The V-neck and clever cut get repeated praise for being flattering (especially through the bust) without gaping, and the length hits a sweet spot for high-waisted pants. Many end up buying multiple colours and wearing it everywhere—work, travel days, dinner, and casual weekends with jeans.
What Customers Love Most
- Incredibly soft, luxe-feel fabric
- Flattering drape/fall that “sits beautifully” and looks slimming
- Versatile styling: “dress up or down” with jeans, skirts, pants or matching wide-leg pants
- V-neck that looks great and doesn’t gape at the cleavage
- Comfort-first fit (easy to wear, not clingy, good arm/shoulder coverage)
Customers Say These Are Perfect For
- Work-to-dinner outfits (office, then drinks/dinner)
- Travel and flights (“travelling plane outfit”, “no ironing required”)
- Pairing with high-waisted trousers or wide-leg pants (including matching sets)
- Larger-bust shoppers who want drape without cling or gaping
- Layering under a blazer or jacket in cooler months/shoulder seasons
Customer Feedback on Quality
- Fabric is repeatedly described as “beautiful”, “luxurious”, “smooth” and “quite thick” (good structure, less ideal for humid climates)
- Travel/wear maintenance gets praised: “crease proof” and “no ironing required”
- Construction details customers notice: good armholes, shoulder straps that cover bra straps, and a cut that avoids cleavage gaping
Customer Fit Feedback
Many report a “perfect fit” (e.g., M = AU 12; small fits AU 12 for some), and several mention it’s great for a larger bust because it’s “not clingy” and doesn’t gape. The most common fit caveat is length: multiple shoppers say the front sits a bit high/short (belly-button to waist length) and can lift when arms go up; tall or long-torso buyers especially notice this. Some recommend going up a size to get the “lovely drape” or extra coverage over the stomach, while a few exchanged down a size for a better fit.
What Customers Say
- "“This top takes me from work to out for drinks/dinner.”"
- "“Fantastic find. Love how comfy and crease proof these tops are”"
- "“Love love love this top - super soft, beautiful drape that is flattering to a larger bust.”"
Frequently Asked Questions
Real answers based on customer reviews
Fit & Sizing
Does this top run true to size, or should I size up/down?
Sizing feedback is mixed: many reviewers found it true to size (including comments like M = AU12), while several others exchanged down (e.g., medium to small) or sized up for more drape or bust/midriff comfort. About 63% of reviews mention fit/size and most were happy with their final choice. If you’re between sizes or want extra length/flow, multiple customers suggest sizing up; if you prefer a neater fit, some successfully sized down.
Based on 43 customer reviewsHow long is it—will it cover my belly, or is it a shorter style?
A recurring theme is that the top can sit a bit high at the front on some bodies, with multiple reviewers calling it “shorter than expected” or noting belly exposure when lifting arms. It’s often described as great with high-waisted pants/trousers and draping lower at the back. If you have a longer torso or want more tummy coverage, reviewers suggest considering sizing up or pairing with high-waisted bottoms.
Based on 14 customer reviewsIs it flattering if I have a larger bust?
Several customers with a bigger bust (including DD) said it isn’t clingy and the drape is flattering. A few mentioned sizing up for the bust area or to get a looser, more flowing fit. The overall sentiment is that the cut works well for fuller busts without pulling or gaping.
Based on 6 customer reviewsMaterial & Quality
Is the fabric actually soft, or is it scratchy/stiff?
Reviewers overwhelmingly describe the fabric as “incredibly soft,” “luxurious,” and “beautiful,” with many buying multiple colours because they loved the feel. Several also mention it feels smooth and comfortable for all-day wear. Across the reviews, softness is one of the most consistently praised features.
Based on 30 customer reviewsComfort
Does the neckline gape or show too much cleavage?
Multiple reviewers specifically said they worried about gaping at the cleavage but found it drapes well and doesn’t gape. Others mention loving the V-neck and feeling adequately covered even with a higher cleavage. Overall, the neckline is commonly described as flattering and secure rather than revealing.
Based on 7 customer reviewsCan I wear a normal bra with it—do the straps cover bra straps?
Yes—reviewers mention the shoulder straps/coverage are designed in a way that covers bra straps, and they also praised the around-the-arm/shoulder coverage. This makes it feel more “wear anywhere” and easy to style without special undergarments. Coverage is frequently noted as a practical plus.
Based on 4 customer reviewsDoes it feel comfortable around the arms and underarms?
Yes—reviewers mention good armholes and around-the-arm/shoulder coverage, saying it doesn’t feel restrictive or sweaty. Many also describe it as extremely comfortable for all-day wear. Comfort around the arm area is called out as a specific design win.
Based on 3 customer reviewsStyle & Versatility
Is it versatile enough for work, going out, and casual wear?
Yes—many reviewers call it a staple that dresses up or down, and several specifically mention wearing it to work, then out for drinks/dinner. People styled it with blazers, jewellery and heels, as well as jeans, shorts, skirts, and yoga pants. Versatility is one of the most repeated reasons customers buy multiple colours.
Based on 24 customer reviewsWhat bottoms does it work best with (wide-leg pants, jeans, etc.)?
Reviewers repeatedly pair it with the brand’s wide-leg/modal pants (including matching sets like the Nomad wide leg pant) and also say it looks great with jeans. Some note the front sits well at the waist and can work nicely with high-waisted pants. Overall, it’s described as easy to match with “anything,” from skirts to shorts.
Based on 16 customer reviewsPerformance
Is it good for travel—does it crease and need ironing?
Travel suitability is a common highlight: reviewers call it “great for travelling,” “perfect for travel,” and even a go-to plane outfit. Multiple customers say it’s crease-proof or that no ironing is required. This makes it popular for high-rotation packing and easy outfit planning on trips.
Based on 6 customer reviewsIs the fabric lightweight enough for hot weather, or better for cooler seasons?
Most comments describe it as light and comfortable, but one reviewer noted the material is “quite thick” and not ideal in humid climates. That same feedback suggested it’s great for shoulder seasons and layering under a blazer or jacket. If you live somewhere very humid, you may prefer it for cooler days or air-conditioned settings.
Based on 3 customer reviewsValue
If I order the wrong size, is exchanging/returning straightforward?
At least one reviewer described ordering the wrong size and said the returns process was “super easy and friendly,” and that they were helped to choose a better replacement. Another reviewer also mentioned exchanging from medium to small successfully. Based on these experiences, exchanges appear manageable if you’re between sizes.
