"This drape top is so stylish - really well cut and made of high quality fabric - this will be one of my faves! I love it so much I brought it in black too! My travel wardrobe is complete!!"

Michelle M. Verified Buyer

"The top sits super nice, no gap as there is a little stich holding it together. Love the fact I don’t need to tuck it in as the hem is elastic. Tempted to order more in different colours!!"

Wandy Verified Buyer

"Athena drape top hides all my imperfections but without looking baggy and daggy. The top looks very classy and can be dressed up or down. The arm holes are not too big which is an added bonus."

Reviews Summary

Shoppers keep coming back to the Athena Drape Top because it’s an instant outfit-elevator that still feels soft and comfortable on the body. The cut gets repeated praise for being flattering on curves and “hiding lumps and bumps” without looking oversized, with thoughtful details like armholes that don’t gape and a hem that’s often loved for its no-tuck ease. A small set of reviewers note the length can sit a little high or the hem may ride up—especially on longer torsos—making it a better match with high-waisted bottoms for some.

What Customers Love Most

  • Flattering drape that “hides lumps and bumps” / “imperfections” without looking “baggy and daggy”
  • Soft, “luxurious feeling” fabric that’s comfortable to wear
  • Versatility: can be “dressed up or down” and “goes with everything”
  • Armholes that don’t gape or sag (“not too big”, “does not sag under the arms”)
  • Hem/finish details (beautiful hem finish, elastic hem so there’s “no having to tuck in”, little stitch to prevent a gap)

Customers Say These Are Perfect For

  • Dressy-casual outfits that need to look “classy” without feeling stiff
  • Travel wardrobes (easy to re-wear and mix-and-match)
  • Pairing with wide-leg pants and heels for a more elevated look
  • Curvy bodies or anyone wanting coverage for “lumps and bumps”
  • Days when you want a polished top that doesn’t require tucking in

Customer Feedback on Quality

  • “High quality fabric” / “luxurious feeling fabric” that feels soft against the skin
  • Construction holds its shape and sits neatly (no underarm sag; “little stich holding it together” to prevent gaping)
  • Finishing details stand out (hem “finishes beautifully”; elastic hem praised for an easy no-tuck look)

Customer Fit Feedback

Most customers report: mostly true to size, with some noting it sits slightly short/high

Most describe it as a great, flattering fit and one reviewer advises to “order your usual size.” A few mention the top can “sit a little high” or feel short on a long torso, and one notes the non-tuck hem can be “prone to ride up,” making high-waisted pants a better pairing for those who prefer more length/coverage.

What Customers Say

  • "“Hides all my imperfections but without looking baggy and daggy.”"
  • "“It fits beautifully and does not sag under the arms.”"
  • "“This top goes with everything! It’s comfortable, flattering, can be dressed up or down.”"

Frequently Asked Questions

Real answers based on customer reviews

Fit & Sizing

Is this top actually flattering, and does it hide lumps and bumps without looking baggy?

Yes—many reviewers describe the Athena Drape Top as “super flattering” and specifically say it hides “lumps and bumps” or imperfections without looking “baggy.” Several mention the drape and cut make outfits look elevated and classy while still feeling wearable. Based on 6 reviews, this is one of the most consistent benefits mentioned.

Based on 6 customer reviews
How does the sizing run—should I order my usual size?

Most feedback indicates it fits well, and one reviewer directly recommends ordering your usual size. That said, one customer needed a couple of attempts to find the right size, and another noted it can sit a little high. Overall, sizing seems generally true-to-size but if you’re between sizes or particular about length, you may want to check measurements carefully.

Based on 5 customer reviews
Is the length long enough, especially if I have a long torso?

Some customers love the length and mention it’s “just the right length,” while others say it sits a little high or wish it were longer for a long torso. If you prefer more coverage or have a longer body, you may find it slightly shorter than expected. This length-related feedback appears in 4 reviews.

Based on 4 customer reviews

Style & Versatility

Can I dress this top up and down, or is it more of a dressy piece?

Reviewers repeatedly say it works for both casual and dressy looks—paired with heels for a polished outfit or sneakers for a relaxed vibe. Customers also mention it’s easy to mix and match and “goes with everything,” making it a versatile wardrobe staple. This theme appears across 6 reviews (about 40% of all reviews).

Based on 6 customer reviews

Material & Quality

Is the fabric soft and does it feel high quality?

Yes—customers frequently describe the fabric as soft, comfortable, and “luxurious,” with multiple mentions of high quality. Several reviews specifically call out the lovely drape and the premium feel when worn. This comes up in 5 reviews (about one-third of reviewers).

Based on 5 customer reviews
Does the top have any design features to prevent gaping at the front?

At least one reviewer noted there’s a small stitch holding the drape together, which helps prevent a gap and makes the top sit nicely. This suggests the design includes a subtle fix for coverage and lay. While only one review mentions it directly, it’s a practical detail for anyone worried about gaping.

Based on 1 customer review

Comfort

Do the armholes gape or sag under the arms?

Multiple reviewers highlight that the armholes aren’t too big and the top doesn’t sag under the arms, which they consider a major plus. One customer specifically said it “does not sag under the arms,” and another noted the arm holes are not too big. Based on 3 reviews, underarm coverage seems to be a consistent strength.

Based on 3 customer reviews
Do I need to tuck this top in, or does it sit nicely on its own?

Several reviewers love that they don’t need to tuck it in, mentioning the hem finishes nicely and (for some) an elastic hem helps it sit well. However, one reviewer found the hemline prone to riding up and said it’s best with high-waisted pants or layering if that bothers you. Overall, most find it non-tuckable in a good way, with a minority noting ride-up.
