Lovely style and shape, doesn’t fit too tight or show ‘bulges’. Short length to wear loose over trousers or skirts. The red is a lovely colour. I bought tiered skirt in same colour, but the top is slightly lighter not enough to stop me wearing them together. With Kettlewell I am between sizes, sometimes small and sometimes medium, with this one the medium is definitely better, I tried both sizes.

Loved the material , the hem and length were perfect for me to not have to tuck. But the shape of the armholes was just wrong for me the gape meant from the side you could not just see my bra band but the cup as well. I’m 35 inch chest (30ff) I tried the medium and the small both gaped maybe some darts would have helped but I’m not a good seamstress and didn’t feel I wanted to spend any more money on getting it professionally fitted.

We are sorry that on this occasion the top was an unsuitable fit for you, please return this to us using our pre paid returns service and a refund will be issued to you, Kind regards Kettlewell.

Fabulous colour. Already have 3 other Sadie shell tops. Love the 100% cotton but perhaps just a little too thick/heavy. More or less wearable in our current hot humid weather but a lighter weight cotton would be on my wish list, Kettlewell, please!

I love this top. The cotton is gorgeous and the length is great with no need to tuck in. I also love the Vanilla Cream colour. I ordered a second top from the latest release in the same colour (sorry Jo!) but it seems a little bigger so will need to return. I would dearly like to see this in a V neck version.

I think this is my favourite top. I am only 5ft and struggle with the length of many tops. This one is perfect and the more substantial cotton gives it the structure I need as a gamine. Of course the colours are great. I am a Spring so loads of choice in this style. I also love the Karina top from a previous season but this is softer and can be worn more casually as well as looking good under a jacket

Silver moon is a lovely alternative to white and feels more summery than grey. The slightly cropped length means it doesn't need tucking in which keeps you cool and comfy. High neck front and back provides sun provides protection from the sun. Weight of the fabric gives structure without stiffness and because it's 100% cotton it's still cool. My perfect high summer top. Please make it again next year, I'd love more in winter colours (sadly cobalt isn't great on me).

Perfect for petites! Great fit, shorter length (though not too short!) so great with high waisted skirts etc and looks really smart so could be dressed up or down. Atlantic blue feels like a great neutral and goes with all my autumn colours. I'd buy this in other colours!

At last I have found a shorter length boxy top in quality cotton which doesn't cling. I much prefer having the one thicker layer to two thin viscose based fabrics. This was much needed to give the right proportions for the shorter person. I would love to see ones like this with short and long sleeves. I have taken one star off because the shoulders tend to be too narrow and show bra straps.

As a big fan of the Karina top from last year, I was so happy to see this new version. I am between XS and Small in KW tops. I first tried this top in XS. The fit was good in the body, but it was too short on me. I exchanged for a size small which is roomier in the waist, but not so much so that I can't wear it and the length is much better.
