Well worth the price
From the time I entered my second trimester and started showing, I was on the hunt for comfortable and good quality maternity wear that I could wear to work, brunch, and even when just lounging at home. I finally found what I was looking for in Olive Basics.
The pieces are well made and hold up incredibly well even after washing multiple times. I appreciate that most of their pieces come with in built bra padding because bra sizes change so much during pregnancy and maternity. I also love the fact they are wrinkle free so there is no need for ironing or steaming. Also, the silhouettes are incredibly flattering and feminine!
I’ve since purchased 8 items from them - from tank tops to dresses and continue to wear them postpartum. No regrets and the clothes are well worth the price!

Great communication and customer…
Great communication and customer experience and comfortable fabrics that are so breathable. They noted that I'd wanted a different size that I'd asked about via IG and even sent it to me even though I'd ordered a larger one to try online as they realised it was still available. The Jesse pants were so comfortable to wear and great for meetings even in hot Singapore.

I’ve always been looking for tops that includes padded bras, but it’s hard to find comfortable yet secure ones. Finally found those at Olive basics! Love the material and fit. As a plus their linen pants and tops are very comfortable and versatile as well.

Love the cardigan
Love it even as a single woman who isn’t pregnant. Have been trying very hard to find a versatile cardigan for office and malls but I hated those button designs and material that sticks to your body. This was absolutely perfect!!!! It feels so soft and comfortable ❤️

First purchase and definitely not the last!
Heard great reviews about Olive Basics from a friend and decided to give their tank top a try. Got the Anna tank and loved it the moment I tried it on. The fit is perfect and provides sufficient support and coverage. Definitely love that it’s reversible and will be looking to get more basics from them :)

Thank you so much for giving us a try and for sharing this lovely review, Priscilla! 🤍 We're so glad our Anna Tank made a great first impression :) Really grateful your friend recommended OB, and even happier to hear the piece worked so well for you. We hope it continues to serve you well for many seasons ahead 🤍 We can't wait for you to explore more of our pieces!
Great material, good customer support
This is quality stuff - the Tabitha top, though white, isn't sheer at all. The material is super comfortable - I am seriously thinking of buying a few more pieces. Customer support was also helpful and friendly when I asked for advice in selecting the correct size.

Timeless designs and excellent service
Have been purchasing the Anna tank, Esther tank and most recently Grace reversible tank. I really love the quality of these pieces and how timeless they are, perfect for on-the-go and nursing as well. The customer service is really amazing too, always giving very prompt responses when I ask about sizes and designs, and give recommendations and tips on styling and pairing. I highly recommend Olive Basics to all women who wants a timeless capsule wardrobe!

Olive Basics is a worthy investment for every woman even if you are not a mom! Pieces are designed so well (basing on my personal experience of owning four of OB pieces) and really caters to all seasons of womanhood. I love the fact that it is a local brand and the founder Gillian is so friendly and helpful. I recently got the Abby Knit Pants and Eve Button-Down Knit Tee co-ord sets and am very impressed how it flatters my postpartum body. Olive Basics has given me the confidence that style and comfort can co-exists. No regrets!

Hi Serene,
Thank you so much for your review! Glad that you are happy with our signature material and fabric used in all of our pieces 🤍
Hope those will serve you for a long time! :)
Nice designs and quick shipping
Great for fuss free ordering and shipping, and quick delivery. Great design.
However, I bought the same top in 3 different colours (same size) but it was an inconsistent fit across all with the sage green top feeling very "stretched out" compared to the other two. The padding in these bra free tops were of poor quality sadly.

Reply from Olive Basics
Hi Kel, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re really glad to hear the ordering and delivery process was smooth, but we’re truly sorry about the inconsistency in fit and your experience with the padding.
The tops you purchased were from our earlier Anna Tank release, and we’ve since made several improvements based on feedback like yours. In some earlier batches, padding could appear crumpled due to poor storage on or end, which may have affected how it felt when worn. We completely understand how this would be disappointing. However, you can quickly put the pads into warm water & it will bounce back into shape as it's actually very durable!
We’d love the chance to make this right. If you’re open to it, we’d also be happy to send you our updated contoured padding to try, or help explore a better-fitting option for you. Please feel free to reach out to us directly so we can assist you personally.
Thank you again for your honest feedback!🤍

I love the Lydia reversible dress so much that I got a second one! It appears like a bodycon dress but not too tight-fitting, and allows you to move around with ease. A plus point is that it is very convenient for pumping on the go as well. More than one year on, this dress is still serving me well through various seasons of my life!
