The drape top people buy twice. Silky-soft fabric, a flattering fall, and an easy “dressy but comfortable” look that works from office to weekend.

"The top is soft, lightweight, and really flattering. The colour is vibrant, the fit is true to size"

Bettina B. Verified Buyer

"Such a figure flattering too for big bust. And silky smooth, drapery fabric. The cherry colour is also a great tone, not a glaring red that washes out us with cooler colour palette."

Marye Verified Buyer

"This top is very feminine, flattering and comfortable. The fabric is silky soft and the colour is lovely."

Joanne J. Verified Buyer

"So comfortable and flattering! Love the colour"

Bianca Verified Buyer

Reviews Summary

Customers consistently describe the Athena drape top as soft, lightweight and “silky smooth,” with a drape that makes it feel feminine and figure-flattering rather than clingy. The fit is commonly called true to size, with several shoppers sizing up specifically to get extra length through the body. Many wear it as an effortless wardrobe staple—easy to throw on, polished under jackets and blazers, and praised for its vibrant, compliment-getting colour.

What Customers Love Most

  • Silky-soft, beautiful-feeling fabric that’s comfortable all day
  • Flattering drape that “drapes beautifully” and looks feminine without clinging
  • Fit that’s often described as true to size and “amazing” on
  • Versatility: looks dressy while still feeling comfortable (easy to style for work or casual)
  • Colour that’s vibrant/bright (especially the cherry red) and frequently complimented

Customers Say These Are Perfect For

  • Workwear and office outfits (especially paired with tailored pants)
  • Layering under jackets and blazers in cooler weather
  • Anyone wanting flattering coverage with “modesty” through the neck and arm lines
  • Shorter frames looking for a top length that doesn’t overwhelm (one reviewer ~156 cm called it perfect)
  • Low-fuss care routines—delicate wash, line dry, and “no ironing”

Customer Feedback on Quality

  • Fabric repeatedly described as “beautiful,” “silky smooth,” and “soft” with a premium hand-feel
  • Holds up well to gentle laundering—washed on a delicate cycle and line-dried “beautifully”
  • Drape and construction create a polished, “classy” look that works under blazers without fuss

Customer Fit Feedback

Most customers report: mostly true to size, with some sizing up for extra length

Several reviewers say it “fits true to size” and “fits well.” A few note the top sits at/near the waistline; some love that proportion, while others wish it was longer through the body to cover the tummy. One customer (typically 12–14) sized up from L to XL specifically for extra length and was happy with the result; another mentioned they “should have gone a size up.”

What Customers Say

  • "“The fit is amazing and the coverage, neck and arm lines, provide beautiful and flattering modesty which is so hard to find in most tops these days.”"
  • "“The top is soft, lightweight, and really flattering. The colour is vibrant, the fit is true to size.”"
  • "“Material is beautiful to touch and feels so comfortable to wear. Looks dressy whilst being comfortable too.”"

How long is the top—does it sit at the waist or cover the tummy?

Several reviewers note the length sits around the waistline rather than being a longer tunic style.

Is this top a good option for a bigger bust?

Yes, at least one reviewer specifically called it “figure flattering” for a big bust, crediting the drapey fabric and cut.

Comfort

Is the neckline and arm coverage modest enough for work or everyday wear?

Multiple customers specifically praised the coverage around the neck and arm lines. One reviewer called out the “beautiful and flattering modesty,” noting it’s hard to find in tops, and others described it as flattering without being revealing. Overall, the reviews suggest it’s a safe choice for work and more covered styling.

Based on 3 customer reviews
Is it comfortable enough to wear all day?

Yes—comfort is repeatedly mentioned alongside the dressy look. At least 6 reviewers describe it as comfortable (including “so comfortable” and “easy to wear”), and several link that comfort to the soft, silky fabric and relaxed drape. Reviewers commonly frame it as a top that feels good while still looking put-together.

How does it wash—does it need ironing?

Athena Drape Top - Cherry
Athena cherry red top size XL is perfect! I’m 12 to 14 and previously bought the navy in L to wear with the matching pants but wanted a little extra length this time so sized up. It’s a beautiful classy top which feels so comfortable on, just love the fabric & style. Thanks Dharma Bums ❤️

Such a figure flattering too for big bust. And silky smooth, drapery fabric. The cherry colour is also a great tone, not a glaring red that washes out us with cooler colour palette.

    Beautiful top

    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.
