I initially ordered a large because all my Athleta tops are that size (5'10" 185lbs for reference.) I may have already submitted a review but… I looked like how a kid would draw a shirt on stick people. I returned for a medium, and when that came today, I noticed right away the crew neck was cut and.../or hemmed improperly so it sits crooked on my shoulders. I shouldn't have to go through almost a month of returns for a simple crew neck tee. This entire "Essential" collection is a bit odd. Most of my tops are the "With Ease" cinch and twist tops and those feel like a true large. I would even re-re-order a small but I was worried the arm holes would feel too tight. The cut on the shoulder and torso is awkwardly broad… almost as if a man designed this for himself and just made the arm holes skinnier for a woman. I love supima cotton as it is more durable and less see-through than regular or even pima cotton. I wanted an alternative to all the poly blend workout clothes in my wardrobe. It's a great fabric but I think this whole line needs a little tweak on sizing and overall shape of the garments.
I'm a large in everything with Athleta... is what I thought (5'10" and 185 lbs, 42" bust.) I know these are more of a relaxed fit, but sizing down would have been the move. Love the high quality fabric and color, but I'm not as impressed with how unpredictable the sizing can be between medium and la...rge. This goes for tops and bottoms. I've had medium fit perfectly in-store, then online orders leaving me looking like the Michelin man. This was the opposite. All my clothes (that have actually fit) from Athleta are a large. I went straight-ticket large on this $200+ order and thought I was safe, but this supima "Essential" collection is shaping out to be frumpy and unflattering so far. Plenty of websites I've ordered sale items from allows returns for an in-store credit at least. Athleta not so much. Boo!! I like sale items so I know what I like before dropping $$$. Now I'm just bummed!

I absolutely love this top. The perfect fit, and length is great for shorter women. I ordered two more in different colors.

Soft and comfortable fabric. Right length but sleeves are way too long (2 inch longer than needed).

I have this top in a few colors, go well with high rise skirts. It's nice for layering and won't wrinkle much. Perfect travel companion. #sweepstakes

Nothing basic about this - a very cute shirt. I have worn as a base layer and fitted shirt.

I was excited to receive this Essential Top, because I have ordered the short-sleeved version in the past and loved how it fit/washed/looked on me. The long-sleeved top fit exactly the same and is made of the same high-quality comfortable fabric. It's just the right length, not too short but also not too long. Love it!

Love that this is a bit cropped but not so much your belly hangs out. Perfect for tucking in highwaisted pants!
