SIZE: X Small COLOUR: Almond Peach

Really want to love this - waited for ages checking if my size XS had come back in stock - but now it’s finally arrived I’m not sure! The colour is nice & unusual (almond peach) & a short cool, easy dress like this is just what I was looking for to wear on hot days & holidays; love the pockets, soft fabric & the elastic tiers in the design do work well on me… BUT it’s very see through!! This isn’t seen at all in the photos online or catalogue. But even the outline of light coloured underwear shows, which is unflattering & a real shame. I’m sure I read somewhere that it had a short lining to the top of the skirt? But clearly not & think it should for future consideration please Kettlewell. Will try on again but think may well be sadly returning…

SIZE: Large COLOUR: Oxford Blue

This was my first ever purchase of a tiered dress. I would usually go for a size medium but sized up to a large in order to get a bit of extra length (I am 5‘8“). I have given it 3 stars for style as I’m not sure it is long enough in the body for tall people though it is long enough lengthwise. I have been trying it on most days since I bought it and I’m still not sure if it’s a good look on me. With my new Rachel jacket (in warm stone), it looks good. However I’m still not sure if it’s the style for me (I usually wear very fitted clothes but wanted this for holidays in a warm climate). I don’t know if it is just because I sized up to the large, but my bra does show very slightly under the arms. Don’t be put off by what I’m saying because I think it is a beautiful dress, the fabric feels lovely and the colours are fantastic. (I saw them all at the colour studio last week). As you might expect, the colour goes with lots of other things in my wardrobe which makes it very easy to style slightly differently each time you have it on.

SIZE: Small COLOUR: Oxford Blue

I've seen this dress looking great on some people so thought I'd give it a go as I wanted a light and airy summer dress, but it looks absolutely terrible on me! I tried both the XS and S as I'm generally in-between sizes with Kettlewell, but they both look ridiculous on me so I'm afraid they're going straight back. I didn't find the material at all 'floaty' and found on both dresses that the first tier below the waist stuck out creating a strange and very unflattering shape. Great if it works for you I guess, and probably best for those with a smaller bust, to avoid the pregancy-smock look! The colours for Spring were also disappointing. I ordered Oxford Blue which is a pleasant colour but not very bright for Springs, and the Almond Peach which is an uninspiring beige - I was expecting more peach to give it a lightness and lift.

SIZE: Large COLOUR: Almond Peach

I bought this dress in Almond Peach which is a pretty colour and just right for a light Spring. I am 5ft and size 14. It is longer on me coming down past my knees but falls well. I am 75 so didn't want it too short. I normally buy shift dresses that suit my body shape but chose this as I wanted a cool dress to wear in the heat on holiday. It looks lovely with a cropped cardigan or my Chloe jackets.

SIZE: X Small COLOUR: Raspberry

Love this dress! Ordered it in my usual size XS and it fits well. I'm 5'-1", 110 pounds, petite build overall. The raspberry color is gorgeous! The dress hangs beautifully and is not see through at all. Came back to buy it in the Oxford Blue as well but it's already sold out. Hoping to catch one that has been returned.

SIZE: Medium COLOUR: Oxford Blue

Beautiful colour & the medium is a good fit around the bust for a size 12. However the tiers didn’t do me any favours although the length was good on me at 5’ as it came just below my knees.

SIZE: Large COLOUR: Almond Peach

Ordered the almond peach in a size L. The top fits very well with no gaping around the armholes. The length is ideal for my height (5fy 6”). . The colour is very pretty on. Unfortunately the swish element of the dress didn’t really suit me (I’m just fussy) but did fall nicely from the waist. The pockets are well sited and unobtrusive. The Ivy dress is definitely worth a try, don’t be put off by the price tag.
