Reviews Summary
Shoppers keep coming back for multiple colours because the Athena Drape Top nails that rare combo: it looks “elegant and put together” while feeling “buttery soft” and genuinely comfortable all day. The crossover drape is repeatedly described as flattering and forgiving through the midsection—“hides lumps and bumps” without looking “baggy and daggy”—and many love that it looks polished under a blazer or styled with the matching pants. A recurring note is length: plenty find it perfect (especially petite frames), while taller or longer-torso customers often size up or prefer high-waisted bottoms for extra front coverage.
What Customers Love Most
- Buttery-soft, silky-feel fabric that drapes/falls beautifully (soft, fluid, not clingy)
- Flattering crossover/drape cut that’s “forgiving” through the tummy and works on curvy bodies and larger busts
- Versatility—easy to dress up or down (work, weekend, dinner) and layers well under blazers/jackets
- Wash-and-wear practicality: “machine wash, drip dry… no ironing needed” / great travel piece
- Thoughtful coverage details: V-neck that’s “not too plunging,” doesn’t gape, bra straps covered, armholes/shoulder lines praised
Customers Say These Are Perfect For
- Workwear (office-ready under a blazer, with work pants or a skirt)
- Travel and flights (packable, wash-and-wear, “travel wardrobe” staple)
- “Jeans and a nice top” weekends (denim, shorts, casual errands, brunch)
- Curvy or busty shoppers who want coverage without feeling frumpy (DD/E/F cups mentioned)
- High-waisted bottoms and matching sets (Nomad/wide-leg/straight-leg pants; Lune skirt) for a streamlined outfit
Customer Feedback on Quality
- Fabric repeatedly described as “beautiful quality,” “not flimsy,” “much thicker than I expected,” and “not see through”
- Holds up to washing: “washed on a delicate cycle… dried beautifully,” “wash and wear so well,” and often reported as crease/iron-free (though a small group mentions it can crease and be hard to de-wrinkle)
- Construction/finish details get called out: “little modesty stitch” to prevent gaping, bra-strap-covering shoulder straps, flattering armholes, and an elastic hem that gives a tucked-in look without needing to tuck
Customer Fit Feedback
Many call it “true to size” and cite AU sizing (e.g., M = AU 12; L for 12–14; 3XL for 18–20). Petite customers (around 153–156cm) often say the length is perfect and love the slightly longer back; several mention it “sits nicely on the hip/waist” and creates a tucked-in look without tucking. Repeated fit adjustment is about torso length: taller/long-bodied or size 18–20+ shoppers frequently say it’s “a bit short in the front” or can show belly when arms lift; common workaround is sizing up for extra length/drape or wearing with high-waisted pants/skirts. A few note the top feels “roomy” and suggest sizing down for a neater fit, while others size up for more relaxed underarm/bust comfort.
What Customers Say
- "“I love how it doesn’t gape. I love that my bra strap doesn’t show. I love that I don’t have to iron it.”"
- "“Hides all my imperfections but without looking baggy and daggy.”"
- "“Perfect for work and on to dinner after… I’ve now ordered it in two other colours!”"

I’m a dance teacher and these tops are my frickin uniform. Comfy, glam, durable… five stars! Hoping the full colour range is here to stay as I’d love to keep replacing!
Amazing design, flattering. Makes me feel elegant and put together whilst wearing the most comfortable, soft drapey fabric ever !
A beautiful fit and soft fabric, wear all day comfort. The first day I wore it to work I received compliments all day…. Who would complain about that. Will definitely be buying from this site again… Love ❤️
This top is elegant and drapes beautifully. Sits nicely on the hip. Machine wash, drip dry, absolutely no ironing needed. True to size, soft and flattering. I highly recommend it and have ordered the long sleeve version.
Very comfortable ! Dress up or down Great staple to have
Super comfortable and beautiful soft fabric. Very flattering draping. Can be worn as a casual top, or styled up for a dressier look. Love it!
Love, love, love this top, super flattering!!
Lovely drape top, have been looking for one online and this is nicest one l have found. The fabric drapes very nicely but l would recommend you go up a size to get the lovely drape.
True to size, first time purchasing from Dharma and wasn’t disappointed. Washes well and no ironing required. Will definitely buy from Dharma in the future.
You can dress it up for work or pair with jeans for the weekend - the fabric is so soft! Bought it in multiple colours once I ordered my first one.

I’ve purchased 3 of these tops in different colours. The fabric drapes softly and is very comfortable and flattering. They are effortless and can be worn casually or dressed up. Great for travelling too, just wash and wear. I bought L but I usually buy M size 12.
