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 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 colour stays bright.

New mum must have

Being a first time mum I wasn’t sure how to navigate the whole feeding out in public in regards to clothes. This tee is simple pairs well with everything and makes it that bit easier to feed my little one without the need to fully undress or strip off.

My fav new tee!

I looove the TLC essential tee’s. I’m a new time purchaser (pre babies) and already know these tees will be a staple in my wardrobe until the end of time. The side zip is so flattering, and will be so handy come breast feeding! Love love love.

Feeding, But Make It Chic

The Essentials Tee is breastfeeding-friendly without screaming “nursing top.” Featuring a sneaky two-way zip on the side seam, it’s made for easy, discreet feeds on the go – no awkward flaps or layers required. 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.
