Reviews Summary

Shoppers keep coming back for the Athena/Anthea Drape Top because it “drapes beautifully” and feels “sooooo soft” on the skin while still looking put-together. The crossover neckline is repeatedly called flattering and “not too low,” with many noting it doesn’t gape and gives comfortable coverage (including for bust and belly). Most describe it as an easy wardrobe workhorse—equally at home with jeans, skirts, linen pants, or the matching wide-leg/Nomad pants for a travel-ready set.

What Customers Love Most

  • Buttery-soft, beautiful-feeling fabric (often described as “sooooo soft” and “sensational”)
  • Drape/flow that hangs nicely without clinging (customers repeatedly say it “drapes beautifully”)
  • Flattering crossover neckline that’s modest and doesn’t gape (“not too low”, “without worrying about falling out of it”)
  • Versatility to dress up or down (work-to-dinner, casual-to-dressy styling)
  • Pairs perfectly with matching wide-leg/Nomad pants to create a “jumpsuit”/“pant suit” look

Customers Say These Are Perfect For

  • Work days that roll straight into dinner
  • Travel/overseas trips and holidays (easy to pack, easy to wear)
  • Styling with wide-leg pants, linen pants, or jeans for an effortless outfit
  • People wanting flattering coverage (bust-friendly and “a bit of belly cover”) without feeling frumpy
  • Low-fuss wardrobes: wash-and-wear pieces that don’t need ironing

Customer Feedback on Quality

  • Fabric is repeatedly described as “high-quality,” “not at all flimsy,” with “just the right amount of stretch”
  • Wash-and-wear performance: “wash well” and “no ironing required” comes up with travel and matching-set purchases
  • Construction/fit details customers notice: sits right on shoulders, provides “full coverage where needed,” and doesn’t gape despite a relaxed silhouette

Customer Fit Feedback

Most customers report: true to size (with a small minority sizing down or considering an upsize for a looser back fit)

Multiple reviewers explicitly say “true to size” and reference standard Australian sizing. Some size-specific notes: one customer (12–14) bought L and was happy with size and length; another bought S and said it teams perfectly with Nomad wide pants. A few mention personal preferences: returning for a smaller size; one reviewer suggests upsizing for a more relaxed fit at the back; a couple wish it were “a fraction longer”/longer at the front, while others say the length is perfect and they don’t need to tuck it in.

What Customers Say

  • "“It is light, soft and flows. Perfect for work and on to dinner after.”"
  • "“This crossover design is very flattering. It doesn’t gape at all and sits just right on the shoulders.”"
  • "“Comfortable, wash well and don't need ironing. Great for overseas travel.”"

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

Customers describe it as comfortable enough to become a regular “go-to” top, with a nice, fluid feel and good construction. Several people bought multiple colours because they loved the fabric so much.

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)?

Across 6 reviews, customers say it pairs especially well with the brand’s wide-leg pants/trousers, with multiple people noting they’ve been told it looks like a jumpsuit or pantsuit. Reviewers describe the set as “stunning” and great for creating a smart, coordinated outfit. Several bought both pieces (and even repurchased in other colours).

Based on 6 customer reviews

Performance

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. If you want to extend the life, one reviewer planned to wash gently, but overall wash feedback is positive.

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.

    Returns Process

    Sadly I am having some trouble with the returns process. I have bought quite a few things and found the purchasing process to be good but not so much for the returns. I am a little disappointed because I was loving the clothes now I’m not sure.

    A little short

    I purchased three of these tops on sale, (when trying a new brand I like to start with sale items). The material and colors are beautiful, as is the style, but for me, they are far too short. I bought the largest size which is a great fit, but I think the length needs to be longer. Or maybe I’m just tall in the torso.? I’ll find a creative way to wear them, they are very nice.🙂
