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!

Love the substantial fabric and stretch and the shorter boxy fit around the hip. At 72 I don't want to show any skin but yet want a shorter top with high waisted pants.

The cropping is perfect -- not too short, not too long. That is difficult to find in women's tops. Elegant crew neck cut, could be smaller for my preference, but many others prefer a larger cut. Perfect top for layers and any level of dress.

Purchased this shirt mainly because of the length and where it would fall at your waist/upper hips. Did not disappoint. Loose fit and quality fabric hides any upper body flaws. Looks great with mid-rise & high-rise jeans, Athleta's Endless pants, Cargo pants and Brooklyn Ankle pants. Great for travel too! Purchased a M - 5'4" - 130lbs, 36DD

This cropped top serves two purposes. Casual and dressy casual when worn with skirt and pearls!

I purchased this as a gift for my niece, who wears white underneath her scrubs. She likes Athleta, and I thought this would be very comfortable during her 12 hour shifts.

The fit and look of this top is amazing! Can be dressed up or worn casually. Absolutely love this top. For the record, I'm 5'2 and 127 and the S fits perfectly.
