Reviews Summary

Shoppers keep coming back for this drape top because it manages to look “classy” and put-together while feeling genuinely comfortable and soft on the skin. The crossover/drape design gets constant praise for sitting beautifully without gaping at the chest, giving good bust coverage, and skimming over “lumps and bumps” without looking “baggy and daggy.” It’s repeatedly described as an easy wear, mix-and-match staple—especially as a set with the matching wide-leg pants—and many say it’s ideal for travel thanks to its low-maintenance fabric and polished look under a jacket.

What Customers Love Most

  • Buttery-soft, silky-feel fabric that’s comfortable all day
  • Flattering drape/crossover cut that “sits beautifully” and looks elegant
  • Doesn’t gape at the chest/cleavage (modest V-neck that stays put)
  • Versatile styling: “dress up or down” with jeans, skirts, pants, blazers
  • Waist-skimming length/hem that means “no need to tuck in” (works especially well with high-waisted bottoms)

Customers Say These Are Perfect For

  • Workwear under a blazer/jacket (smart, polished, lots of compliments)
  • Travel days and flights (comfortable, easy-care, good for a capsule wardrobe)
  • Pairing with matching wide-leg/straight-leg pants for a coordinated set that reads like a jumpsuit/pant suit
  • Bigger-busted shoppers wanting coverage without cling (DD/EE mentions, “not clingy”)
  • Days when you want to hide a tummy or “lumps and bumps” without wearing something baggy

Customer Feedback on Quality

  • Fabric described as “soft and fluid but not flimsy,” with several noting it’s thicker than expected and “not see through” (especially in white)
  • Holds up to real-life wear: “wash well” and commonly reported as low-crease / “don’t need ironing” (though a small minority report creasing)
  • Construction details customers notice: a small stitch prevents gaping at the chest; armholes aren’t too big and straps/shoulders give good bra coverage

Customer Fit Feedback

Most customers report: mostly true to size, with frequent notes that it can feel short in the front; some shoppers size up for extra length/drape

Many call it “true to size” and say to “order your usual size,” including specific references like M = AU 12 and petite shoppers finding it sits well at the waist/hips. A recurring fit theme is front length: multiple reviewers say it’s “a bit short” or “sits quite high” and can show belly when reaching up; several recommend wearing it with high-waisted pants/skirts, or sizing up to get a more relaxed drape and a touch more front coverage (especially for taller shoppers or those wanting more tummy coverage). Bust fit is repeatedly praised—works for larger busts (DD/EE mentions) without being clingy, and the armholes/shoulders are often described as well cut (no sagging under the arms, bra straps covered).

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 I don’t have to iron it.”"
  • "“Comfortable, wash well and don't need ironing… people think it's a jumpsuit.”"

Frequently Asked Questions

Real answers based on customer reviews

Fit & Sizing

Does this top run true to size, or should I size up/down?

Most reviewers found it true to standard Australian sizing and were happy ordering their usual size (e.g., “M = AU 12” and “order your usual size”). A noticeable minority sized up (often for extra drape or more tummy/length coverage) or sized down after trying it, so if you’re between sizes or prefer a looser fall, sizing up is commonly recommended. Several customers mentioned needing one exchange to “nail” the fit, and said the return/exchange process was easy.

Based on 20 customer reviews
Is it short in the front—will it show my belly when I lift my arms?

Yes, this is one of the most repeated fit notes: multiple reviewers said the front sits at or around the waist and can ride up or expose some tummy when reaching up. Many people solved this by wearing it with high-waisted pants/skirts or by sizing up for a bit more length and drape. If you have a longer torso or specifically want tummy coverage, expect it to feel shorter than a tunic-style top.

Based on 18 customer reviews
Is it flattering for a larger bust (DD/EE and up)?

Many busty reviewers said the cut is very flattering and gives good bust coverage without feeling clingy. Some shared specific fit wins like suiting a “large bust,” “DD bust,” and even “size 14 EE cup.” A few busty customers did size up for extra ease, but still liked the drape and coverage.

Based on 8 customer reviews
Will it hide lumps, bumps, or a tummy without looking baggy?

A recurring theme is that the drape is forgiving and “hides imperfections/lumps and bumps” while still looking polished rather than bulky. Reviewers often described it as slimming and flattering through the midsection. If tummy coverage is your main goal, note that some still wanted more length in front, but liked the way the fabric falls.

Comfort

Does the neckline gape or feel too low at the cleavage?

Most reviewers specifically praised that it doesn’t gape and feels secure at the chest, even with a relaxed drape and crossover front. Customers mentioned not needing to keep adjusting at the cleavage, and several said it’s “not too low” and feels modest without needing a singlet underneath. This seems to be a key design win of the top.

Based on 14 customer reviews
Do bra straps show, and are the straps/shoulders wide enough?

Multiple reviewers loved that bra straps don’t show and that the shoulder straps provide good coverage. People also mentioned the top sits well on the shoulders and feels secure. If bra coverage is a concern, reviewers generally found this top very “bra-friendly.”

Based on 3 customer reviews
Are the armholes too big or do they gape under the arms?

Reviewers repeatedly called out the armhole design as a standout: “no gapping,” “does not sag under the arms,” and “arm holes are not too big.” Some also said it felt more breathable and less sweaty because of the armhole cut. If underarm gape is a common issue for you, this top appears to be designed to minimize it.

Material & Quality

What’s the fabric like—soft, thick, flimsy, or see-through?

Reviewers overwhelmingly describe the fabric as extremely soft (“buttery soft,” “silky smooth”) with a fluid drape, and several note it’s not flimsy. At least one reviewer called out that the material felt thicker than expected and another said it’s “not see through” (including in white). One reviewer also mentioned it may feel quite thick for humid climates.

Performance

Is it good for travel—does it pack well and resist wrinkles?

Many customers bought it specifically for travel (including flights) and said it’s comfortable, easy to wear, and part of their “travel wardrobe.” Several reviewers stated it doesn’t need ironing and is crease-proof, though one person reported their top creased badly. Overall, most experiences lean toward low-maintenance travel wear, with occasional wrinkle sensitivity depending on expectations and handling.

Based on 10 customer reviews

Style & Versatility

Can I wear it to work and then dress it down casually?

Yes—versatility is one of the most consistent comments: reviewers wear it for work, dinner/drinks, and casual days with jeans, skirts, or shorts. Many mention it looks polished under a blazer/jacket and can be dressed down with sneakers. Several people bought multiple colors specifically because it works across occasions.

Based on 12 customer reviews
Does it sit nicely without tucking in, or do I need to tuck it?

Most reviewers liked that it sits at the waist and doesn’t need tucking, often describing the hem as “just the right length.” A few noted the hem is elastic and helps it sit neatly, especially with wide-leg or high-waisted pants. One reviewer did mention the hem can be prone to riding up, making high-waisted bottoms a better pairing.

Based on 10 customer reviews
Does it pair well with the matching pants—does it look like a set or jumpsuit?

Many reviewers bought it with the matching wide-leg/straight-leg pants and said it creates a very “smart” outfit, with more than one person noting it can look like a jumpsuit or pantsuit. Customers frequently mentioned compliments when wearing it as a set. If you want an easy coordinated outfit, this top-and-pant combo is strongly validated by reviews.

Value

How easy are returns/exchanges if I get the size wrong?

Several reviewers described needing to exchange after ordering the wrong size and said the process was “super easy,” friendly, and well supported. One customer specifically noted paid return postage and excellent customer service. If you’re unsure between sizes, reviewers suggest you can buy with confidence because exchanges were straightforward for them.

Athena Drape Top - Sage
This is an exceptional quality, flattering colour and style top. My only challenge with this top is it's a bit short in the front for me (I like the tummy coverage) - I am 165cm/5'5 and my stomach shows when I reach up slightly for anything. However, I think this is helped by a higher waisted skirt or pants that can sit underneath it.
