Reviews Summary

Shoppers consistently describe this top as “soooo soft” with a fluid drape that feels comfortable while still looking elegant. The crossover front and relaxed silhouette are repeatedly praised for being flattering and modest—offering coverage (including “belly cover”) without gaping or clinging. Many end up re-buying it in additional colours and wear it everywhere from travel and work to brunch, shopping, and even light exercise.

What Customers Love Most

  • Buttery-soft, high-quality fabric (often called “modal”) that feels great on skin
  • Drape that hangs beautifully and doesn’t cling
  • Flattering crossover/V-neck design that stays modest (no gaping, “not too low”)
  • Versatile styling that dresses up or down and pairs easily with jeans, skirts, linen pants, and wide-leg trousers
  • No-fuss wearability: comfortable, easy to throw on, and often mentioned as a repeat purchase in multiple colours

Customers Say These Are Perfect For

  • Travel (easy, comfortable “smart set” with pants; ideal for holidays)
  • Workwear when you want polished but not fussy (especially in white/navy)
  • Everyday outfits with jeans, skirts, or linen pants
  • Busty shoppers wanting a flattering fit that “doesn’t gape” (including EE cup mentions)
  • Light exercise like pilates where coverage and staying-in-place matter

Customer Feedback on Quality

  • Fabric repeatedly described as “high-quality,” “superb,” and “soft and fluid but not at all flimsy”
  • Customers report it “washes well” and some note it “don’t need ironing”
  • Construction/design details get noticed: sits right on the shoulders, doesn’t gape, and hangs neatly without needing to tuck in

Customer Fit Feedback

Most customers report: true to size

Most reviewers say it’s true to normal Australian sizing and sits well on the shoulders, with a crossover front that doesn’t gape even with a larger bust. Several mention it’s a flattering, relaxed fit with coverage (including “belly cover”) and a length that often means “no need to tuck in,” though a small minority wished for a bit more front length or considered sizing up for a looser fit through the back.

What Customers Say

  • "“Drapes beautifully, full coverage where needed and feels so soft.”"
  • "“Seriously the most comfortable top. The quality is superb.”"
  • "“This crossover design is very flattering. It doesn’t gape at all and sits just right on the shoulders.”"

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

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)?

Reviewers describe the set as “stunning” and great for creating a smart, coordinated outfit. Several bought both pieces (and even repurchased in other colours).

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.

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.

    Perfect!

    Athena Drape is a perfect match for the pants I bought previously. Now I have a matching set that can be worn anywhere. I’m very happy with the size and length of the top. I’m a 12-14 and bought L.

    I would like this style a little longer

    While this is a beautiful top, for me, I would like it about 5cm or so longer.
