Why You’ll Love It

The “I woke up like this” of tees. With a slouchy shoulder, boxy fit, and buttery 100% cotton, 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)
  • Lemon 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.

A little TLC for your piece

🌸 How to Care for Your Essentials Tee

Your Essentials Tee in Lemon is soft, slouchy, and made for real life — from puree spills to coffee runs. Here’s how to keep her feeling fresh and comfy:

Wash me gently – Cold machine wash on a gentle cycle is best. Turn me inside out to protect my cotton fibres and side zips.

Stay cool – Hot water can shrink or stiffen me, so keep it cold every time.

Dry with care – Air dry flat or hang me in the shade. Please skip the tumble dryer — I like to keep my oversized drape.

Smooth me out – A warm iron or gentle steam will freshen me up. Be careful around my hidden zips.

Store me well – Fold me or hang me in a cool, dry place. Keep me out of direct sunlight so my Lemon colour stays bright.

Love the tee so much! I am living in the essential tees (I have four now), love the slide seams for breastfeeding and also just so the tee isn’t hugging your hips 🔥

Great quality!

The material is so thick and good quality which I really love. Nicely oversized (I am size 8 and got the XS). It has zips on the side which seems a bit unnecessary if you don't breastfeed (I am breastfeeding but don't use it, I just pull my top up) - would maybe be better if they made two versions of the tees so you can choose if you have zips or not - but it isn't really noticeable and doesn't bother me.

Great product

This product is awesome while it is obviously the old style with the zips not going all the way down I don’t mind. I bought it with the matching pants and the colour match is phenomenal. The only fall back is that it shrunk slightly in the wash but the sizes are slightly oversized and definitely allow for this.

an absolute must-have tee 👏🏼

I had bought breastfeeding specific tees from another brand a couple months ago, didn’t love the material but it was OK for the feeding aspect. Purchased just one of Essentials Tee, and I am literally getting one in each ‘capsule colour’! The quality and feel is unmatched, the fit, the length of zips, everything is just 🙌🏼👏🏼
