Reviews Summary
Wearers keep coming back for more colours because the fabric feels “buttery soft” and the top drapes in a way that looks elegant without clinging. The crossover neckline gets repeated praise for being modest and secure—people mention it “doesn’t gape,” covers bra straps, and looks instantly put-together under a blazer. It’s a staple for office-to-dinner outfits and travel days, with the only recurring hesitation being that some find the front a little short and prefer it with high-waisted bottoms.
What Customers Love Most
- Buttery-soft, silky-feel fabric that’s comfortable against the skin
- Flattering drape/fall that “hangs perfectly” and looks polished
- Dress-up-or-down versatility (work, casual, dinner/evening)
- Crossover/V-neck that “doesn’t gape” and gives good bust coverage
- Easy-care travel friendliness (wash & wear / no ironing mentioned often)
Customers Say These Are Perfect For
- Workwear (especially under a blazer/jacket) and office days
- Travel days and packing for holidays/overseas trips
- Dressing up wide-leg pants/jeans for dinner, drinks, brunch or shopping
- Curvy or busty shoppers wanting coverage without looking “baggy and daggy”
- Hot-weather and shoulder-season outfits when you want to feel “cool” but still look smart
Customer Feedback on Quality
- “Soft and fluid but not at all flimsy” fabric; several note it’s thicker/better quality than expected and “not see through”
- Washes well for many and is described as “wash & wear” and “crease proof” by some (though a smaller group says it can crease and be “tricky trying to get the wrinkles out”)
- Construction details customers notice: a small stitch that stops the crossover from gaping; shoulder straps/coverage that hide bra straps; hem/elastic that means “no having to tuck in” for many
Customer Fit Feedback
Many reviewers call it true to size (often referencing AU sizing like M = AU 12), but sizing tweaks are common: some sized down because the top felt “very roomy,” while others sized up specifically to get more length and a more relaxed drape over the tummy/bust. A repeated theme is the front sitting higher/shorter than expected (some mention belly showing when reaching up), so high-waisted pants/skirts are a popular pairing; several also love the slightly longer back. Busty shoppers (DD/EE cups) often say it’s flattering and provides coverage without gaping, and armholes/shoulders are frequently described as well-designed (not too big, good coverage).
What Customers Say
- "“Athena drape top hides all my imperfections but without looking baggy and daggy.”"
- "“I love how it doesn’t gape. I love that my bra strap doesn’t show.”"
- "“Perfect for work and on to dinner after.”"
Shop the Look
When my Dharma Bums order arrived I was excited to see how the Athena Drape Top would look on a more mature woman. To my delight it looks and feels great. A very easy to wear elegant fit top. I would recommend this item to every woman of any age.
bought the top with the trousers! What a stunning outfit and full approval from the husband!
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.
Love it! Brought the matching Nomad pants, a great casual outfit. Will buy another set in a different colour. 🙏🏻
This crossover design is very flattering. It doesn’t gape at all and sits just right on the shoulders. Size is true to normal Australian sizing. Fabric is lovely and soft and very comfortable to wear
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!!
Everyone needs this beautiful top. Im 155cm tall and this top sits perfectly at my waist and drapes lower at the back. I'm usually a 12 but the small fits perfectly. It's so very soft and light and the perfect layering top. I'm pleased I ordered it in white too.
Love the colour and for. Material is beautiful and it is very flattering on. Can’t wait to wear it with the matching pants on my upcoming holiday.
Love how this top sits and is super flattering and comfortable. Sits at the right spot for high waisted pants.
Absolutely love the Athena Drop top! I now need them in all the colours!!!
