Reviews Summary

Shoppers describe the Modal Luxe Layer Tee as much more refined than a regular T-shirt: soft, silky fabric that “falls beautifully” without clinging, plus a relaxed shape that still looks put-together. Many wear it with jeans, Dharma Bums pants, skirts, or wide-leg pants, and several say it has become a travel must-have or wardrobe staple they now own in multiple colours.

What Customers Love Most

  • Super soft modal fabric that feels silky, luscious and lovely against the skin
  • Beautiful drape that sits well, falls nicely and does not cling to the back, hips or tummy
  • Comfortable relaxed fit that is easy to wear all day without overheating
  • Versatile styling: dress it up for work or dinner, or keep it casual with jeans, shorts and pants
  • Flattering cut with a good length, tapered bottom and shape that works for bigger busts, hips and bellies

Customers Say These Are Perfect For

  • Work days or office outfits that need to look refined but still feel comfortable
  • Travel wardrobes, especially because customers say it is comfortable, layers well and does not wrinkle
  • Everyday wear with jeans, shorts, skirts, Dharma Bums pants or wide-leg pants
  • Smart-casual dinners, cocktails, lunches or going out with accessories, a scarf or jacket
  • Shoppers who want a loose, non-clingy tee with tummy and hip coverage that still looks flattering

Customer Feedback on Quality

  • Modal fabric is described as soft but substantial, with a “good weight” and a quality, luxe feel
  • Customers report it keeps its shape, washes well, does not wrinkle for travel and needs no ironing
  • Several reviews call it well made, refined and durable enough to get “years of wear”

Customer Fit Feedback

Most customers report: Relaxed and slightly generous overall, with many customers finding their usual size comfortable or true to size; a smaller group sized up for extra drape or chose different sizes for tailored versus casual looks.

Customers mention a loose, roomy fit under the arms and through the body, but say the fabric drapes well so it does not add bulk. Size examples include size 18 fitting perfectly, size M working for a usual AU 12, and size L fitting a size 14; one 8/10 customer preferred a medium after reading reviews, while others note XS and L can feel roomy depending on the desired look.

What Customers Say

  • "“Soft but keeps shape washes well.”"
  • "“You can wear these to yoga or wear them for cocktails.”"
  • "“Doesn't cling to my bits and sits perfectly still on my hips and just below my tum.”"

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the tee feel high quality or more like a basic T-shirt?

Based on 10 customer reviews

Fit & Sizing

Is the fit flattering, or does it cling?

Most reviewers found the tee very flattering, especially because it drapes rather than clings. Customers mention it sits beautifully, falls in the right places, does not cling to the back or tummy, and works well for different body shapes. Several also liked the tapered bottom because it can sit neatly around the hips without adding bulk.

Based on 36 customer reviews
How does the sizing run—true to size, generous, or should I size up?

Sizing feedback is mostly positive but slightly mixed. Some reviewers say it is true to size, while several describe it as roomy or generous; for example, one size 14 customer said Large fit perfectly, and one AU size 12 customer found Medium comfortable. A few customers sized differently depending on the look they wanted—smaller for a tailored look and larger for a more casual drape—while one reviewer preferred sizing up from an 8/10 to Medium.

Based on 14 customer reviews
Is the length good if I want coverage around my hips or tummy?

Many reviewers liked the length because it gives coverage without looking bulky. Customers mentioned it sits just below the tummy, works well around the hips, and can be pulled down or gathered at the hip depending on the look. It was also praised by a tall reviewer who said the length was great.

Based on 12 customer reviews

Style & Versatility

Based on the available reviews, it appears to be low-maintenance, though detailed washing feedback was not a major review theme.

    Really comfy

    Lovely soft fabric, really nice cut and drapes well. It tapers in towards the waist so that it sits on your hips with a nice casual but polished slouch.

    modal luxe tee

    I'm 74kg so i ordered the L size. As i'm about to travel, I needed a tee that would cover my shoulders, and give me a "dressier" look. These T-shirts fit perfectly, they are not form-hugging but remain very flattering, the material has a quality look about it and the length is such that you can tuck the tee in or drape it over the bottom garment. My order came quickly and needless to say i am happy with the size and style.
