"The colour and drape of this top make it very flattering. The fabric is so soft and lovely to wear. Sizing is perfect. I’m a 12 and the medium is a perfect fit."

Sue S. Verified Buyer

"The colour is beautiful, and the fabric is nice and soft. It's great against my skin. The loose 3/4 sleeves are a real feature - I hate tight things around my arms and wrists."

Reviews Summary

What sets this top apart is its soft, fluid fabric and flattering front drape, which customers say sits beautifully without feeling restrictive. The relaxed sleeves and versatile cut make it comfortable for everyday wear while still looking polished enough for work, dinners and other smart-casual occasions.

What Customers Love Most

  • Silky-soft fabric that feels comfortable and smooth against the skin
  • A fluid front drape that customers consistently describe as flattering
  • Beautiful, bold colour—particularly the cherry-red shade
  • Versatile styling that works dressed up or worn casually with jeans
  • A comfortable, relaxed fit that still looks smart and feminine

Customers Say These Are Perfect For

  • Smart-casual outfits that need to feel comfortable but look polished
  • Dressing up for dinner or an evening out with jewellery and accessories
  • Everyday wear with jeans, pants or skirts
  • Anyone who prefers loose sleeves rather than tight fabric around the arms and wrists
  • Layer-free wear during autumn, mild winter weather and changing seasons

Customer Feedback on Quality

  • The fabric is repeatedly described as soft, silky and pleasant directly against the skin
  • The cut retains a polished appearance through its smooth, fluid drape
  • Loose three-quarter sleeves provide ample arm coverage and can be pushed up comfortably

Customer Fit Feedback

Most customers report: Generally true to size with a relaxed, roomy cut; several customers felt they could size down for a closer fit.

Customers repeatedly say the top hangs and sits well through the body, including on fuller busts. One size-12 shopper found medium perfect, while another normally wearing a size 12 chose small; the bust and sleeves are described as more generous than some other Dharma Bums tops. The longer back and flowing front provide comfortable coverage without looking shapeless.

What Customers Say

  • "“So soft and drapes beautifully.”"
  • "“The cross over doesn't gape.”"
  • "“Looks great with jeans and can be dressed up with some bling for night time.”"

Frequently Asked Questions

Real answers based on customer reviews

Fit & Sizing

How does the sizing run—should I order my usual size or size down?

Among 9 reviewers who specifically discussed sizing, five found their selected size true to size or just right, while four described the cut as roomy or said they could size down. Order your usual size for the intended relaxed drape, but consider sizing down if you are between sizes or prefer a closer fit, particularly because the bust and sleeves may feel generous.

Based on 9 customer reviews
Are the sleeves loose, and how much arm coverage do they provide?

Five reviewers discussed the sleeves, describing them as loose, flexible, and generous rather than tight around the arms or wrists. Depending on the version and how they are worn, customers described the length as approximately three-quarter to seven-eighths, with one noting that the sleeves can be pushed up for shorter coverage.

Based on 5 customer reviews
Will the length and cut work for petite, tall, or busty body shapes?

Feedback from five reviewers suggests the draped cut accommodates several body shapes: one shorter customer found it ideal, one busty customer said it hung especially well, and a long-torso customer liked the length. A 171 cm reviewer chose a large and felt a medium might have been slightly short, while another reviewer noted that the back is longer, so checking the measurements is advisable if torso length is a concern.

Based on 5 customer reviews

Material & Quality

Is the fabric really soft and comfortable against the skin?

Yes. Eighteen of 42 reviewers—about 43%—specifically praised the fabric as soft, silky, or lovely against the skin. Several said it feels gorgeous to wear, making the top a promising choice if fabric softness is important to you.

Based on 18 customer reviews

Style & Versatility

Is the cut flattering, or does the fabric hang awkwardly?

Fourteen reviewers praised the drape, cut, or way the top sits on the body, frequently describing it as flattering. Customers reported that the soft fabric hangs smoothly at the front and creates a feminine, polished shape rather than looking stiff.

Based on 14 customer reviews
Can I dress this top up as well as wear it casually?

Yes—11 reviewers specifically said it works for both casual and dressier settings. Customers wore or planned to wear it with jeans, for smart-casual and office outfits, at barbecues, and for evenings out, so it appears to transition easily from daytime to nighttime.

Based on 11 customer reviews
What does the colour look like in person?

Twenty reviewers commented on the colour, with most describing it as beautiful, bold, vibrant, or flattering; the cherry and red shades received particular praise and compliments. One reviewer found the colour slightly less vibrant than the product photo, so exact screen-to-product colour matching may vary.

Based on 20 customer reviews
What bottoms does this top pair well with?

Five reviewers specifically mentioned pairing it with jeans, trousers, or skirts, and one said the colour coordinated with many existing wardrobe pieces. Jeans create an easy casual outfit, while tailored pants, skirts, or accessories can make it suitable for work or an evening out.

Based on 5 customer reviews

Comfort

Is this top comfortable enough to wear for long periods?

Eight reviewers explicitly described the top as comfortable, lovely against the skin, or easy to wear. The soft fabric, relaxed fit, and non-restrictive drape were the main reasons customers found it comfortable.

Based on 8 customer reviews

Performance

Is this top suitable for autumn and winter?

Four reviewers discussed seasonal wear, describing it as useful for cooler weather, autumn, or winter, including subtropical autumn and winter conditions. One customer considered it wearable in all seasons, but for colder climates it may be best used as a dressy layer rather than the only source of warmth.

The cut, drape and fabric of this top makes it absolute perfection. The colour is increadible!! I only wish I had ordered sooner - would love it in my size in the grey/lavender our previously, or the ruby colour in this latest release. Love it!
— Nichole N.
Athena 7/8 Sleeve  Drape Top - Cherry
As soon as I put this on, it became a favourite. Such bold but pretty colour and feels gorgeous on. Glad I measured as I thought the large might be too big buyt it was just right (171cm, 76kg) and the medium prop would have fit but might have been a touch short.
— Elena E.

    Xmas top

    I also have the black in this top which I love. The red will be my Xmas top. I possibly could have sized down in these, the sleeve and bust are generous in comparison to other tops I’ve bought at Dharma.
