Reviews Summary

Shoppers repeatedly describe the Athena Drape Top as the kind of “easy to wear” staple that looks classy while feeling genuinely comfortable. The standout is the soft, fluid fabric and flattering drape that “hides lumps and bumps” without feeling baggy, plus a crossover front that “doesn’t gape” and stays modest. Many love that it sits at the waist with high-waisted pants (often as a matching set), though taller or long-torso wearers sometimes wish for a bit more length in the front.

What Customers Love Most

  • Buttery-soft, silky feel fabric that’s comfortable all day
  • Flattering drape that skims the body and “hides lumps and bumps” without looking baggy
  • Crossover/V-neck design that doesn’t gape and feels modest/secure at the chest
  • Versatile styling: easily dresses up or down (work, jeans, dinner, blazer/jacket)
  • “Perfect length”/waist-sitting hem for high-waisted bottoms (no tucking needed)

Customers Say These Are Perfect For

  • Travel days and plane outfits (comfortable, polished, often described as a travel wardrobe staple)
  • Workwear under a blazer/jacket with trousers or a skirt (compliments at the office)
  • Jeans outfits when you want to look “dressed” without trying too hard
  • Busty shoppers wanting coverage without gaping (DD/EE cup mentions, “suits my large bust perfectly”)
  • Matching-set dressing with the brand’s wide-leg/straight-leg pants (people say it looks like a jumpsuit)

Customer Feedback on Quality

  • Fabric is repeatedly described as “soft and fluid but not at all flimsy,” with some noting it’s thicker than expected and “not see through.”
  • Easy-care gets frequent callouts: many say it “washes well” and several highlight “don’t need ironing”/“crease proof,” though a minority report it can crease.
  • Construction details customers notice include “arm holes are not too big,” “does not sag under the arms,” bra-strap-covering shoulder straps, and a small stitch/closure that helps prevent gaping.

Customer Fit Feedback

Most customers report: true to size overall, with frequent sizing adjustments based on desired drape and torso length

Many call it true to size (including references like “M = AU 12” and petite shoppers in S), and several advise “order your usual size.” A notable group sizes up specifically to get a more relaxed drape over the bust/tummy or to compensate for a shorter front length (“went up a size which helped”). Multiple reviews mention it sits at/near the waist or belly-button length and works best with high-waisted pants; taller/long-torso wearers more often say it feels a bit short in front or can show belly when arms lift.

What Customers Say

  • "“I love how it drapes…I love how it doesn’t gape.”"
  • "“Athena drape top hides all my imperfections but without looking baggy and daggy.”"
  • "“Comfortable, wash well and don't need ironing.”"

Frequently Asked Questions

Real answers based on customer reviews

Fit & Sizing

Does this top gape at the neckline or when you lean over?

In the reviews, customers repeatedly mention that it doesn’t gape at the front/cleavage, even with a relaxed drape. Several people specifically noticed a small internal stitch/crossover construction that keeps the front secure, so they don’t have to keep adjusting. Overall, this is one of the most consistently praised design features.

Based on 15 customer reviews
How does the sizing run—should I order my usual size or size up/down?

Most reviewers describe the top as true to size (including petite shoppers and those referencing AU sizing like M = AU12), and many recommend ordering your usual size. That said, a noticeable group sized up to get a looser drape or a bit more length/coverage through the tummy or bust, while a smaller group sized down successfully for a neater fit. If you’re between sizes or want more front length, multiple reviewers suggest sizing up.

Based on 18 customer reviews
Is it suitable for bigger busts—will it sit nicely and stay modest?

A number of reviewers with larger busts (including DD/EE cup mentions) say it’s flattering, not clingy, and provides good bust coverage. Several specifically mention they don’t feel like they’re “falling out” of it and appreciate that it isn’t too low at the front. Some larger-bust customers did size up for extra ease or length in front.

Based on 8 customer reviews
Is the length cropped/short—will it cover my belly, especially if I’m tall or long in the torso?

Length is the most common downside mentioned: multiple reviewers say it sits at the waist/around hips on shorter heights but feels short on taller or long-torso bodies, and a few note it can lift and show some belly when arms are raised. Many still love the look and recommend pairing with high-waisted pants/skirts, and several found sizing up helped a little with coverage. If you prefer longer tops for tummy coverage, this is worth considering.

Based on 16 customer reviews
Are the armholes and shoulder straps bra-friendly (and not gappy under the arms)?

Several reviews highlight that the armholes are not too big and don’t sag or gape under the arms, which helps it look more polished and feel secure. Multiple customers also mention the shoulder/strap coverage is good and that bra straps don’t show. This is repeatedly called out as a thoughtful part of the cut.

Material & Quality

Is the fabric really soft and good quality, or is it thin/flimsy?

Reviewers very frequently describe the fabric as “so soft,” “buttery,” “silky smooth,” and “luxurious,” and many call out the overall quality as superb. Multiple people mention it’s fluid and drapey but “not flimsy,” with at least one reviewer noting it felt thicker than expected (in a good-quality way). Overall sentiment is that it feels elevated while still being comfortable.

Based on 25 customer reviews
Does the fabric show through (especially in lighter colours like white)?

At least a few reviewers explicitly mention the fabric is not see-through and feels substantial rather than flimsy. Customers who bought white commonly describe it as sitting beautifully and feeling high quality, with no complaints about transparency in the review set. As with most light tops, many still style it with a suitable bra for the cleanest look.

Based on 3 customer reviews

Comfort

Is this top flattering—does it hide tummy/lumps and bumps without looking baggy?

Many customers say the drape is very figure-flattering and helps “hide imperfections,” “lumps and bumps,” and tummy areas without looking baggy. Reviewers describe it as slimming, polished, and “classy,” while still relaxed and easy to wear. A few people who prefer extra tummy coverage chose to size up for more front length/room.

Based on 14 customer reviews
Is it comfortable enough for all-day wear (and not sweaty or restrictive)?

Comfort is one of the biggest themes: reviewers repeatedly describe it as incredibly comfortable, soft on the skin, and easy to wear all day. One reviewer specifically praised the armholes for helping them not feel “trapped and sweaty.” People often call it a “go to” top for comfort while still feeling dressed.

Based on 12 customer reviews

Style & Versatility

Do I have to tuck it in, or does it sit nicely on its own?

Many reviewers love that they don’t need to tuck it in, because it sits neatly at the waist with a flattering hem finish (some mention an elastic hem). Customers often describe it as “just the right length” for high-waisted bottoms and appreciate the polished look without fussing. A small number prefer longer length, but still find it works well untucked with the right rise of pants.

Based on 11 customer reviews
Can I wear it to work and still dress it down casually?

Reviewers consistently describe it as a “work or casual” staple: many wore it to the office (often under a blazer/jacket) and received compliments, but also pair it with jeans, skirts, shorts, and sneakers. Customers frequently say it looks effortlessly elegant and “classy,” while still being comfortable enough for everyday wear. It’s commonly mentioned as a go-to piece that transitions from day to dinner.

Based on 20 customer reviews
Does it look good as a matching set with the brand’s pants (like the wide leg/modal pants)?

Many customers bought the matching pants and describe the outfit as a “stunning” set that looks polished and put-together. A couple of reviewers even mention people thought it was a jumpsuit or pantsuit when worn together. The top is frequently paired with wide-leg styles for an easy travel-to-dinner look.

Performance

Is it good for travel—does it resist wrinkles and pack well?

Travel suitability is a recurring theme, with many customers buying it specifically for flights and travel wardrobes. Several reviewers say it doesn’t need ironing and is crease-proof/no-iron, making it easy to pack and wear on the go. One reviewer did report their fabric creased more than expected, so results may vary depending on how it’s packed and handled.

Based on 10 customer reviews
Is it too warm for hot or humid weather?

Most reviews focus on the fabric being soft and drapey, but a few note the material is thicker than expected and one reviewer specifically said it’s “not ideal in humid climates.” Several people mention wearing it in cooler months under a jacket and expecting to use it more in shoulder seasons. If you run hot, it may be better for air-conditioned settings or milder weather.

This top is perfect. Does not gape at the front and the fit across the top of the hips is just right. The material is lovely too-soft but just right to sit on the body.
