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

Material & Quality

Is the fabric actually soft and comfortable against the skin?

Yes. Across 25 reviews discussing the material or feel, customers consistently described it as soft, silky, drapey, and pleasant against the skin, with 17 specifically using terms such as “soft” or “silky.”

Based on 25 customer reviews

Fit & Sizing

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

The fit is generally true to size, but it has a relaxed, roomy cut. Of 10 reviews with specific sizing guidance, six were happy with their regular or chart-indicated size, while four said they could size down or found the bust and sleeves generous; measuring first is advisable if you are between sizes.

Based on 10 customer reviews
Is the cut flattering, or does the crossover front gape?

Sixteen reviewers praised the drape, cut, or way the top sits on the body, frequently describing it as flattering and feminine. One customer specifically noted that the crossover does not gape, while others liked how the front drape hangs without clinging.

Based on 16 customer reviews
Will this top work for a fuller bust?

The feedback from three bust-focused reviews is encouraging: one busty customer said the cut hangs especially well, and another normally wearing a size 12 at the bust found a small suitable. The bust is described as generous, so consult the measurements and consider sizing down if you prefer a closer fit.

Based on 3 customer reviews
Is the length suitable for both petite and long-torso customers?

Four reviews suggest the length accommodates a range of heights: a shorter customer found it ideal, while a long-torso customer said it provided good length. The back is longer for added coverage, although a 171 cm reviewer felt sizing down might have made the top slightly too short.

Based on 4 customer reviews

Style & Versatility

Does the color look the same as it does in the photos?

Color was praised in 23 reviews, particularly the cherry and red shades. However, two of those reviewers—about 9%—said the cherry looked less bright or less vibrant than the photo, so the exact intensity may vary from what you see on screen.

Based on 23 customer reviews
Can I dress this top up as well as wear it casually?

Yes—13 reviewers highlighted its versatility for both casual and dressier outfits. Customers wore or planned to wear it with jeans, pants, and skirts, and recommended it for settings ranging from a BBQ to the office or an evening out.

Based on 13 customer reviews

Comfort

What are the sleeves like—are they tight or roomy?

Seven reviewers commented positively on the sleeve length or coverage, describing the sleeves as loose, comfortable, and generous rather than restrictive. Depending on the version, customers referred to them as 3/4 or 7/8 length, and one noted that they can be pushed up for a softer half-sleeve look.

Based on 7 customer reviews

Performance

Is this top best for winter, or can I wear it in other seasons?

Four customers discussed seasonal wear, with several recommending it for autumn, winter, or cooler weather and one calling it suitable for all seasons. It appears especially useful as a transitional or mild-winter top, including for subtropical climates.

Based on 4 customer reviews
Would this be a good top to pack for travel?

Yes. Three reviewers specifically recommended it for travel because it is comfortable and can shift easily from casual daytime wear to a dressier evening outfit.

    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.
