The not-so-basic tee you’ll actually build outfits around—luxe-soft, flattering through the waist and hips, and polished enough for work or weekends. Bright white, not see-through, and made to travel.

Reviews Summary

Shoppers keep coming back to this tee for its “divine” modal feel and the way it drapes from the shoulders but sits neatly at the hips, so it looks styled without feeling clingy or baggy. It’s repeatedly described as a wardrobe staple that swaps easily between jeans, work pants and skirts, with many buying multiple colours once they’ve tried the first. The white, in particular, earns praise for being bright and “not see through,” while still feeling light, breathable, and comfortable for all-day wear.

What Customers Love Most

  • Super soft, luxe-feeling fabric that’s comfortable on the body
  • Flattering cut/drape that narrows at the hip/waist (not baggy, sits nicely)
  • Versatility: works casual or “smart” (jeans, work pants, skirts, under a blazer)
  • White fabric isn’t see-through / feels “thick” enough
  • Great fit and sizing that many call true to size (with easy room in the chest)

Customers Say These Are Perfect For

  • Everyday wear when you want to feel comfortable but look put-together
  • Work outfits (under a blazer, with suit/work pants)
  • Travel/overseas trips where you want high-rotation pieces
  • Pear-shaped, busty, or larger women who want an easy fit that still looks flattering
  • Warm weather days when you want something “cool & fresh” without it being sheer

Customer Feedback on Quality

  • White fabric repeatedly noted as “not see through” and “thick” enough without feeling heavy
  • “Washes well” / holds up as a high-rotation staple (several own multiples and repurchase)
  • Construction and cut feel considered: “an actual design process has gone into this top,” with a drape that falls well and sits snugly at the hips

Customer Fit Feedback

Most customers report: mostly true to size (some find it slightly roomy)

Multiple reviewers say the sizing is “perfect” and “true to size,” with a cut that’s looser in the chest/bust but narrows at the bottom to sit neatly on the hips/waist. A smaller group mention it runs a little big or that they “could have gone for the smaller size,” and some intentionally size up to get an oversized, draped look. Fit is frequently praised for covering the tummy and suiting pear shapes and bustier figures.

What Customers Say

  • "“Beautiful tee that's not see through - love love”"
  • "“Drapes gently around those bits you like disguise… but is very stylish and oh so comfortable.”"
  • "“These are my favourite tshirts of all time… Great quality, great cut, wash well, feel wonderful.”"
