Is the Athena Drape Top flattering, especially around the stomach?

Seven of 18 reviewers specifically described the top as flattering, with several saying the draped design hides lumps, bumps, or other areas they feel self-conscious about without looking baggy. Customers also reported that it works well on curvy figures and gives outfits a polished, feminine shape.

Can I dress this top up as well as wear it casually?

Yes. Eight reviewers highlighted its versatility, styling it with wide-leg pants and heels for dressier occasions or with jeans, shorts, skirts, and sneakers for casual wear. Reviewers consistently described it as an easy-to-match wardrobe basic that can elevate an outfit.

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

Eight of 18 reviewers specifically praised the fabric for being soft, comfortable, luxurious, or beautifully draped. Customers said it falls smoothly over the body rather than looking stiff or bulky, and one reviewer noted that it steams easily.

Does the Athena Drape Top run true to size?

Sizing feedback was generally positive, with some reviewers recommending their usual size and describing the fit as true to size. However, others chose a larger size for more underarm room or extra length, and one customer needed several attempts to find the right fit, so sizing up may be worth considering if you prefer a roomier or longer top.

Is this top long enough for someone with a long torso?

Length received mixed feedback across six reviews. Some customers thought the hem was just right, but others found it sat high or felt short, particularly on a long torso; choosing a larger size may add some length, and high-waisted bottoms can provide better coverage.

Will the elastic hem ride up, and can I tuck the top in?

The elasticized hem is designed to sit neatly without needing to be tucked, which several customers appreciated. However, one reviewer found the non-tuckable hem prone to riding up, so pairing it with high-waisted pants or wearing a layer underneath may help if coverage is a concern.

Do the armholes gape or sag?

Three reviewers discussed the underarm fit positively, noting that the armholes were not overly large and did not sag or gape. One size-10 customer selected a Medium for a little more room under the arms, so sizing up may be preferable if you want a less fitted underarm area.

Is it comfortable enough for all-day wear or travel?

Eight reviewers praised the top's softness and comfort, while multiple customers specifically included it in casual or travel wardrobes. Its easy-to-coordinate design and ability to work across casual and dressier outfits make it practical when packing a limited number of pieces.

Is this a top worth buying in more than one colour?

Nine of 18 reviewers had already purchased multiple colours or said they planned to, making repeat purchases one of the strongest themes in the feedback. Customers attributed this to the flattering drape, comfort, and ability to coordinate the top with many different outfits.

The Nomad Pant in Navy is an absolute winner. Beautiful colour, soft as a cloud fabric and a dream to wear. So incredibly comfortable and stunning. I don’t want to wear anything else. Will definitely be buying in more colours. Thank you Dharma Bums xx

I lived this top as soon as I saw it and when it arrived, I tried it on straight away. It is light, soft and flows. Perfect for work and on to dinner after. I've now ordered it in two other colours!

Fabulous flowy wide leg pants (but not too wide if you know what I mean!). Gorgeous material, medium density fabric and just perfect for casual loungewear or the office. I’m a size small and 5,2 - length was perfect, just touching the floor - I do wear them up high like nana pants tho - hooray!

— Hannah H.

Beautiful soft fabric. Easy and comfortable fit. Highly recommend. The 7th top I’ve purchased from Dharma Bums along with 2 pairs of pants. Love them all.
