Reviews Summary

Shoppers keep calling this their “go to tee” because it feels soft and light on the body while still looking dressier than a regular T-shirt. The drapey modal fabric, tapered hip/waist shape, and not-too-clingy fit make it especially popular for covering the tummy without looking baggy. Many customers own it in multiple colours and wear it everywhere from the office under a blazer to plane travel, Pilates, jeans-and-shorts days, and dinner with accessories.

What Customers Love Most

  • Buttery-soft modal fabric that feels “silky,” “sumptuous,” “luscious,” and “amazing” against the skin
  • Flattering drape that “falls beautifully,” “sits beautifully,” and does not cling around the stomach
  • Versatile styling that can be dressed up or down for work, travel, lunch, yoga, errands, or going out
  • Tapered bottom/hip fit that gives shape, covers the “mum tum,” and avoids a baggy T-shirt look
  • Easy-care fabric that washes well, holds its shape, travels well, and often needs no ironing

Customers Say These Are Perfect For

  • Workwear that still feels comfortable, especially under a blazer or with work pants
  • Travel and plane wear because it is soft, light, easy-care, and polished enough for holidays
  • Everyday wardrobe rotation with jeans, shorts, skirts, leggings, or Dharma Bums modal pants
  • Women wanting a relaxed, flattering tee that covers the tummy without clinging or billowing
  • Yoga, Pilates, exercise classes, Zumba, tap dancing, and light workouts where comfort and coverage matter

Customer Feedback on Quality

  • Washes well, wears well, holds its shape, and several customers mention “no ironing” or “wash and wear”
  • Fabric has a quality, luxe feel with a nice weight — “not flimsy,” “not see through,” and “appears durable”
  • Well-made cut with capped sleeves, a higher neckline, and a tapered bottom that customers notice for comfort, coverage, and polish

Customer Fit Feedback

Most customers report: Mostly true to size with a relaxed, generous drape; some customers size up for an oversized look, while a few size down because the style can feel roomy or boxy.

Customers describe the fit as relaxed rather than form-hugging, roomy through the bust and body, and tapered or snug at the hip/waist so it sits neatly instead of flapping around. The length is praised for working tucked in, draped over bottoms, pulled down, or gathered at the hip; several say it covers the tummy or “mum tum,” while a few very busty or taller shoppers wished for more length. Sizing examples include size 18 finding it perfect, size 14 often choosing Large, size 12-14 wearing Medium or Large depending on desired drape, and some broad-shouldered or loose-fit customers sizing up.

What Customers Say

  • "“Workwear but make it comfy!!”"
  • "“Fits beautifully & drapes in all the right places! So much better than wearing a regular T’shirt.”"
  • "“I have 3 now. Love them. No ironing and lovely soft material.”"

Frequently Asked Questions

Real answers based on customer reviews

Material & Quality

Is the fabric really as soft and luxe as people say?

Yes. Based on 140 reviews, the modal fabric is the standout feature, with customers repeatedly describing it as buttery soft, silky, smooth, luscious, divine, and luxurious. Several reviewers also noted that it has a quality weight to it, so it feels elevated rather than flimsy.

Based on 140 customer reviews
Is the white or lighter colour see-through?

Customers who mentioned sheerness were reassuring. At least 6 reviews specifically said the fabric is not see-through, including comments about the white tee and the material being thick enough despite initial concerns. Reviewers described it as a quality fabric with enough weight to feel refined.

Based on 6 customer reviews

Fit & Sizing

How does the fit run — true to size, generous, or should I size up?

Most reviewers found the tee true to size, especially when following the size guide, but many also described the fit as relaxed or generous. Some customers sized up for a looser, more draped look, while a few sized down for a neater fit; one size 18 reviewer chose 3XL for extra ease, and another size 14 customer found Large perfect. If you want the model’s relaxed look, sizing up may work well, but for a standard flattering fit, your usual size is commonly recommended.

Based on 52 customer reviews
Is this tee flattering, or does it cling around the stomach?

Reviewers overwhelmingly found it flattering, especially because the fabric drapes rather than clings. At least 38 customers mentioned that it hides or softens the tummy area, sits nicely on the hips, or avoids being tight across the stomach while still giving shape. Several reviewers specifically liked the tapered bottom because it creates a polished slouch without looking baggy.

Based on 38 customer reviews
What is the length like — does it work for different heights?

Reviewers had generally positive feedback on the length, though preferences varied by body type. At least 24 customers mentioned the length, with some saying it was just right, good for tucking or draping, great for taller bodies, and helpful for covering the tummy. A few shorter or large-busted reviewers had different experiences: one 5ft customer loved that it was not too long, while another with a very large bust wished it was a little longer.

Based on 24 customer reviews
Does the tee work well for larger busts or curvier bodies?

Yes, several reviewers with curvier shapes, larger busts, or tummy concerns found the tee flattering and comfortable. At least 19 reviews mentioned fit benefits for larger busts, size 18 bodies, big bellies, mum tums, or larger women, with customers noting that it has room without looking shapeless. One reviewer with a HH cup said the XL fit her chest and felt comfortable, though she wished it was slightly longer.

Based on 19 customer reviews
What are the sleeves, neckline, and armholes like?

Reviewers generally liked the capped sleeves, higher neckline, and arm coverage. At least 17 customers mentioned these design details, saying the sleeves cover the upper arms nicely, work well under jackets, and the neckline feels modest for yoga or teaching. One reviewer wished the armholes were smaller, and another noted that if you dislike fabric near your neck, you may prefer the V-neck version.

Based on 17 customer reviews

Style & Versatility

Can I dress this tee up, or is it just casual?

Customers consistently described this as a highly versatile tee that can be dressed up or down. Based on 72 reviews, people wear it with jeans, shorts, skirts, work pants, wide-leg pants, under blazers, and with jewellery for going out. Many reviewers said it works equally well for the office, casual weekends, lunch, travel, and evening outfits.

Based on 72 customer reviews
Can I wear it with the matching Dharma Bums pants or skirts?

Yes, reviewers frequently styled it as part of a set. Based on 28 reviews, customers paired it with modal wide-leg pants, relaxed pants, nomad pants, flare pants, skirts, pleat-front pants, and wraps. Many said the matching sets looked smart, chic, polished, and especially useful for work or travel.

Based on 28 customer reviews
Are the colours as nice in person?

Most customers loved the colours and many bought multiple shades, including black, white, navy, charcoal, red, cherry, chocolate, coffee bean, sage, pale blue, and brown. At least 56 reviews praised the colours or mentioned buying several, with some customers owning four, five, seven, or more. A small number of reviewers noted colour differences, such as cherry being less cherry in person, one colour being lighter than expected, or orange appearing more vibrant.

Based on 56 customer reviews

Comfort

Is it comfortable enough for all-day wear?

Yes. Comfort was one of the most common themes, with 118 reviewers saying the tee is comfortable, easy to wear, light on the body, or soft against the skin. Several customers said they wear it constantly, live in it during summer, or even joked it was comfortable enough to sleep in.

Based on 118 customer reviews

Care & Maintenance

Does it wash well and keep its shape?

Yes, reviewers generally reported that it washes well and continues to look good after laundering. At least 18 customers specifically mentioned easy care, washing well, holding its shape, or being wash-and-wear. Multiple reviewers also loved that it does not need ironing, making it practical for frequent wear.

Based on 18 customer reviews

Performance

Is this a good tee for travel?

Yes, many customers bought or packed it specifically for travel. Based on 31 reviews, people wore it on planes, took it overseas, packed it for Bali or Europe, and liked that it is comfortable, dressier than a basic tee, easy care, and resistant to creasing. Reviewers also appreciated that it layers well and can be styled multiple ways while travelling.

Based on 31 customer reviews
Is it suitable for hot weather, yoga, Pilates, or workouts?

Many reviewers found it suitable for warm weather and gentle activity. At least 24 customers mentioned wearing it for yoga, Pilates, gym classes, Zumba, tap dancing, workouts, or hot climates, with several saying it feels light, cool, airy, and allows easy movement. One reviewer also noted that it did not move up during classes, while others liked the neckline and sleeve coverage for yoga or teaching.

Based on 24 customer reviews

Value

Is it worth the price?

Most reviewers felt the quality, comfort, fabric, and versatility made it a wardrobe staple, with many buying multiple colours. However, value feedback was slightly mixed: 4 reviews mentioned price directly, including customers who felt it was better value on sale or pricey for a tee. If you plan to wear it often for work, travel, casual outfits, and layering, reviewers suggest the cost-per-wear is strong.

    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.
