Why You’ll Love It

The “I woke up like this” of tees. With a slouchy shoulder, boxy fit, and soft Tencel blend, this is the kind of throw-on-and-go magic you’ll want in every colour. It’s that good.

Need to feed a bub mid-errand? Easy. Sneaky side zips mean no wrestling with your outfit in a car park. It's fashion meets function.

Why you’ll love her:

  • Hidden side zips (for sneaky boob access)
  • 100% Cotton
  • Classic crew neckline & boxy cut (the style that goes with everything)
  • Oversized and slouchy (thank us later)
  • Bow Element
  • Ethically made in: PRC with love

Maternity & Postpartum approved:

Soft, stretchy, zip-access makes the Essentials Tee a must have for bump to boob and beyond.

Style tip:

Pair with the matching Essentials Pants for a coordinated ‘hot mum on the move’ look, or team it with TLC Denim and sneakers when you want to pretend you didn’t just spill puree on your jeans.
How It Fits (Spoiler: Like a Dream)

The Essentials T-Shirt offers a relaxed, oversized fit, perfect for all-day comfort. Designed with versatility in mind, this tee features discreet, invisible side zippers to provide easy feeding access for breastfeeding, making it a functional yet stylish piece. The lightweight fabric drapes naturally over the body, giving it a casual feel without clinging.

If you prefer a more fitted look, we recommend sizing down, as this style is intended to be roomy. The sleeves are slightly longer, adding to the relaxed vibe, and the soft cotton ensures breathability. This tee is ideal for layering or wearing on its own, giving you the flexibility to dress it up or down while staying comfortable. Perfect for postpartum wear, it combines ease of movement with practical feeding-friendly details.
Love Me Long Time (Care Tips)

🌸 How to Care for Your Essentials Tee
Your Essentials Tee is designed to keep up with couch hangs, coffee runs, and mum-life moments — but a little extra care will keep her looking fresh:
* Wash me gently – Cold machine wash on a gentle cycle, inside out to protect my colour and shape.
* Skip the harsh stuff – No bleach or soaking; it’ll mess with my softness and stretch.
* Air me out – Line dry in the shade to keep me feeling lush. Tumble drying? Not my vibe.
* Smooth me out – If I’m a little crinkly, a warm iron or gentle steam will have me back in shape.
* Store me simple – Fold me flat or hang me up, and I’ll be ready for your next “throw-on-and-go” moment.

1st time I've purchased the essential tee and I will definitely be purchasing more

1st time I've purchased the essential tee and I will definitely be purchasing more. So soft and comfy. I love that it has zips at the side for easy side tucking.

Amazing and so soft

So soft and looks amazing! I wasn’t sure how I felt about it at first because the fabric felt different than the cotton shirts I’ve bought before but after washing it it became so soft and comfortable. It’s slightly wider than the essential tees. Probably my favourite lullaby tee!

Feeding, But Make It Chic

Wear it zipped up for everyday cool, or unzip when bub calls. It’s your essential for a reason.

Zip It Good

Looks like your fave oversized tee… but surprise! It’s also your feeding MVP. The Essentials Tee hides a two-way zip in the side seam so you can breastfeed easily, discreetly, and stylishly. Comfort? Tick. Function? Double tick. Cooler than before you had kids? Absolutely.
