Reviews Summary

What sets the Athena apart is its soft, fluid fabric and crossover drape, which skims the midsection without looking bulky or clingy. Customers wear it with everything from matching wide-leg pants and work blazers to jeans and skirts, often returning for several colours. Most find the fit true to size, although taller and longer-torso shoppers frequently wish the front hem were a little longer.

Customer Fit Feedback

Most customers report: Mostly true to size with a relaxed, draped fit; the front length runs short for some taller, long-torso and fuller-figured customers.

Many shoppers report that their usual Australian size fits well, including M for AU 12 and L for 12-14, while some size down because the body is roomy. Others size up to gain more front length or a looser drape through the bust and back. The hem generally sits at the waist or top of high-waisted bottoms and falls slightly longer at the back; petite customers often praise the length, but taller and plus-size reviewers may expose some midriff when raising their arms. The crossover cut is repeatedly described as flattering on larger busts, with good bra-strap, armhole and cleavage coverage.

What Customers Say

  • "Athena drape top hides all my imperfections but without looking baggy and daggy."
  • "I love how polished it looks under a jacket."
  • "So comfy and look a million dollars!"

Frequently Asked Questions

Real answers based on customer reviews

Material & Quality

What does the fabric feel like, and does it drape well?

The fabric is the most consistently praised feature, with 148 reviews describing it as soft, silky, buttery, fluid, or luxurious. Reviewers say it falls smoothly without feeling flimsy, creating an elegant drape that generally does not cling or add unwanted bulk.

Based on 148 customer reviews

Fit & Sizing

Does the Athena Drape Top run true to size?

Sizing was discussed in 66 reviews, and most customers found the top true to their usual Australian size or said it fit perfectly. Examples include an AU 12 wearing Medium and an AU 12–14 wearing Medium or Large; however, some sized down for a neater fit, while others sized up for extra drape, bust room, or front length.

Based on 66 customer reviews
Is the draped shape flattering around the stomach?

At least 75 reviews describe the cut as flattering, with several specifically saying it disguises the tummy, lumps, and bumps without looking baggy. The softly gathered hem creates the appearance of a tucked-in top and generally sits smoothly over high-waisted bottoms, although it can ride up on some body shapes.

Based on 75 customer reviews
Is the front length short, especially on a tall or fuller figure?

Length experiences are mixed across 48 reviews: many petite customers and wearers of high-waisted pants found it ideal, but 31 reviews said the front was shorter than expected or wished it were longer. It commonly sits around the waist or belly-button area and is slightly longer at the back, so taller, long-torso, or plus-size customers wanting full tummy coverage may prefer to size up or wear it with high-waisted bottoms.

Based on 48 customer reviews
Is the V-neck modest, or will it gape and show my bra?

Twenty-two reviews specifically praise the neckline and arm coverage, noting that the crossover front does not gape or feel overly plunging. Customers mention a small modesty stitch, well-sized armholes, and shoulder coverage that conceals bra straps, although individual fit will still depend on bust and shoulder proportions.

Based on 22 customer reviews
Does the fit work well for a larger bust or different body shapes?

Nineteen reviews specifically report flattering results on larger busts, fuller or round figures, petite frames, mature wearers, and plus sizes. Larger-busted customers liked the drape and coverage, while petite customers around 153–156 cm often found the waist-level length especially suitable; customers wanting more bust room or length sometimes chose one size up.

Based on 19 customer reviews

Style & Versatility

Can I dress this top up for work or wear it casually?

Yes—79 reviews highlight its versatility for work, weekends, dinner, and casual wear. Customers pair it with tailored pants or skirts for the office, jeans or shorts for a relaxed look, and jewellery or heels for an evening outfit.

Based on 79 customer reviews
Does it look good with the matching pants or skirt?

Yes—43 reviews praise the top with matching Nomad, wide-leg, straight-leg, or coordinating pants, and several also liked it with the Lune skirt. In matching colours, customers say the separates create a polished outfit that can resemble a jumpsuit or pantsuit while remaining more practical.

Based on 43 customer reviews
Can I wear it under a blazer, jacket, or cardigan?

Twenty-four reviews say the top layers neatly under blazers, denim jackets, linen jackets, and cardigans. Its smooth drape and polished neckline make it especially popular for work, while layering also allows the sleeveless design to be worn in cooler weather.

I love this top!! This is the third one I've bought from Dharma Bums (the others in charcoal and pink) I couldn't resist the black one for work and dressing up in for a night out. I'm 182 cm and 70 kg. The medium is a perfect fit.

Athena Drape Top - Airy Blue
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.
