Why You’ll Love It

The Essentials Tee in Sleep Deprived is your new everyday uniform. A washed grey base that pairs with everything, finished with the Certified Sleep Deprived graphic that every mum will clock from across the room — and immediately relate to.

Made from 100% breathable cotton, it's soft, lightweight and easy to wear from morning to night. The relaxed fit with dropped shoulders feels effortless whether you're growing a bump, fresh in the fourth trimester, or somewhere in the beautiful in-between.

Discreet side zippers on both sides make breastfeeding and accessibility access easy and seamless — there when you need them, invisible when you don't. This is the tee that works as hard as you do, without you ever having to think about it.

Why you'll love it:

  • 100% breathable cotton — soft, lightweight and unlined
  • Certified Sleep Deprived graphic — relatable, wearable, conversation-starting
  • Washed grey colourway — versatile and easy to style
  • Discreet side zippers for breastfeeding and accessibility access
  • Relaxed fit with dropped shoulders
  • Classic crew neckline
  • Pregnancy-friendly and postpartum-friendly
  • Size-inclusive design
How It Fits (Spoiler: Like a Dream)

The Essentials Tee fits with a relaxed, slightly oversized silhouette that works beautifully at every stage. The dropped shoulders and unlined cotton keep it light and easy — flattering through the bump and comfortable long after. Stay true to size for the classic relaxed look, or size down for something a little more fitted.

A little TLC for your piece

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
To keep your Sleep Deprived tee looking its best:

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle
Turn inside out to protect the graphic
Do not tumble dry on high heat — hang or lay flat to dry
Do not bleach or iron directly over the print
Wash with similar colours to maintain the washed grey tone

incredible tee

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.

Looovveee this shirt, I match it with the same coloured essentials pants and it’s always such an easy but put together outfit. The new zips the open all the way up are fantastic too !! 🫶

Comfy, classy tee

Love the essential tee! Especially in the emerald and white colourway. Comfy yet classy and being a mum of 3, it's the perfect tee. I wear it weekly, it's become my uniform.

Obsessed!

I love this tee so much! I sized up for this one and it's so comfy. I can wear it as a going out shirt as well as a Pj top! The side zips make it so much easier to feed my daughter too!

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 🙌🏼👏🏼

Essential Tee

I've been reluctant in the past to purchase a tee, as I always thought "I can get a tee for way cheaper at any store".
That is in fact incorrect. If you're looking for decent quality, sizing, the feel, and if you're a feeding mumma, this is the absolute best tee. Not to mention the colour is stunning. Im not a feeding mumma, so I don't require the zips, but I didn't not even notice them, or feel them whilst wearing. 11/10.
