SIZE: Medium COLOUR: Blackberry
This top was not on my wishlist but after trying it on at the colour studio I came away with it in the blackberry colour way. I absolutely love it and it will be the perfect addition to my holiday wardrobe.- Cheryl (12/04/2024)
SIZE: Small COLOUR: Laguna
Very pleased with these t-shirts, lovely colours true to size and have some shape/fit to them without being overly tight, just right. If they wash well, I’ll deffo get more colours.- Emily (16/11/2023)
SIZE: Medium COLOUR: Coral
I purchased two of these tops in Regatta Blue and Coral. I am an Autumn, and as you can imagine Regatta Blue is not in my colour palette. However it is one of the few colours including white that I buy for when I travel to Greece as these colours seem to be ok on me when I have a bright coloured canvas behind me. Plus I love them! This top is absolutely gorgeous and I would recommend it to anyone. It is so pretty and feminine. I bought medium as I am a 12/14 but I could also buy the large I think for a looser fit. Either way I love these tops and thank you to Kettlewell for another treasured purchase!- Susan (14/10/2023)
SIZE: X Small COLOUR: Smokey Rose
I really like this top. Nice style, good fit and lovely colour. The material is great for the warmer weather. A bit more than I would normally expect to pay for a tee-shirt, but I'm happy with it.- Jean (20/09/2023)
SIZE: Small COLOUR: Acid Yellow
I now have 3 Lydia tees having just bought the acid yellow & raspberry to add to last year’s apple coloured one. They soften with washing and, in the absence of silk tees on the market, keep me cool. Yes you do have to be careful with underwear for the lighter colours. This is the only tee I can wear in hot weather. The acid yellow is a fantastic colour & actually makes my white skin look less so. They are not ‘wow’ (with the exception of the colours) but in hot weather other things take priority!- Julie (09/09/2023)
SIZE: Small COLOUR: Coral
I have two of these, in coral and emerald green. Whilst they are lovely colours, and the garments themselves are good quality, the fabric is alarmingly see through over the cleavage area, even worn with nude underwear, and just doesn’t look right, ! So I’m finding I just don’t wear these anymore. I won’t order anything else in this fabric.- Susan (05/09/2023)
SIZE: Small COLOUR: Raspberry
A beautifully soft and cool linen top in a zingy colour. I am in love with this raspberry colour and the style is great for summer. Great quality as always.- Grace (23/08/2023)
SIZE: X Small COLOUR: Raspberry
An absolutely gorgeous top. I got it in raspberry and coral and both colours are lovely. Nicely fitted and the scoop is just right. It's quite expensive for what it is though.- Gillian (21/08/2023)
SIZE: Medium COLOUR: Aquarius
A perfect top! I love the colour, weight of the material and the neckline. It is also a surprisingly perfect fit.. As soon as I saw it I knew it was a winner.- Rachel (27/07/2023)
SIZE: Medium COLOUR: Aquarius
My second purchase of this Lydia linen tee. This time I purchased the aquarius. Pleased I bought it but I still reach for the smokey rose one first as I adore the colour. Perfect for hot summer days and holidays. Washes well on 30 degrees, dry on hanger outside and then a light iron. Very probably the best two tops that I have bought this season and worn in recent months.- Karen (25/07/2023)
SIZE: Small COLOUR: Regatta Blue
My 2nd Lydia linen top. This time lovely. Regatta blue. Prefer the Lydia to the Venus as the neckline is scooped but less wide and low. My usual size S fits perfectly, lightly fitted not clingy.- Toots (21/07/2023)
SIZE: LL COLOUR: Aquarius
Great top lovely soft Scoop neck material quite see through but not a huge problem if ur wearing a bra . Sizing is about right . Bought LL I'm a 16 with 36 f cup in the Aquarius and also bought coral too. Looks great with denim shorts also jeans with a nice belt .Downside ... The price £ 49 , its just a Tshirt .- Emma (19/07/2023)
SIZE: Large COLOUR: Dark Emerald
My Favourite Tee! It is a perfect fit, does'nt stretch out of shape and always looks good. Well worth the mney! More colours please!- Janet (18/07/2023)
SIZE: Medium
Lovely- Helen (18/07/2023)
SIZE: X Small COLOUR: Regatta Blue
Regatta blue is my perfect blue, especially with the soft linen texture. It's lively but not too bright, good depth of colour without looking greyish. The Lydia tee in XS fits me perfectly, without any pulling across the shoulders and the scoop is just right. (I'm 163 cm (5'4") and take size 6-8 UK/AUS in tops.) I'm looking forward to wearing it over summer here in Australia.- Helen (07/07/2023)
SIZE: LL COLOUR: Laguna
Gorgeous colour and fabric. I'm very pleased with this . It seems to be washing well, too.- Cath (05/07/2023)
SIZE: X Small COLOUR: Aquarius
Love the Lydia Linen Tee. The colour is beautiful ( Aquarius ) size small, perfect fit and looks amazing. Wish there was a much bigger choice of colours- Jane (04/07/2023)
SIZE: Small COLOUR: Raspberry
I bought this top recently, as anothr reviewer said I would not normlly purchase linen, however it works, A lovely top ideal for summer months, quite simple, which is normally how I like my tops- Pat (03/07/2023)
SIZE: Large COLOUR: Laguna
I bought the pale pink Lydia a few years ago and love its lightness, shape and coolness. I was disappointed that it wasn't available after that so when it came back this year I grabbed it! I would like to see them in more colours, as they are really flattering and comfortable.- Helen (29/06/2023)
SIZE: Small COLOUR: Aquarius
I only bought this top because I needed something to go with the Vivienne skirt and other tops didn't work for me. It was a lovely surprise and surpassed expectations: - fabric feels lovely - light but not flimsy - neckline is just right - not too scoopy - length works well worn loose and is not overlong Thank you!- Angela (28/06/2023)
SIZE: LL COLOUR: Aquarius
Such an easy to wear top, beautiful in aquarius. Feels lovely on, cool and soft. It does come up more snug than my previous linen ones in this style and is quite short.- Deborah (22/06/2023)
SIZE: Medium COLOUR: Laguna
I’m a Kettlewell newbie. I bought the Laguna Lydia, and liked it so much that I ordered the coral and emerald as well. The fabric is fantastic, really light and cool, and the M is a great fit on me (usually a 12) I really like that the sleeves fit neatly under a cardigan without bunching up and having to be adjusted. All the colours are great, and I have discovered some unexpected combinations. This may seem like a small thing, but Kettlewell is the ONLY brand where I don’t have to remove the neck labels which usually drive me mad with scratchiness. Kettlewell really does think about everything!- Christine (21/06/2023)
SIZE: Medium COLOUR: Laguna
I don't normally like linen as it creases so badly, but this linen Jersey fabric is great. Cool & comfortable - perfect for hot weather! I'm a busty 14 but bought the medium (having ordered large too, which I returned) as I like my tops more fitted. Just be warned - you can definitely see through the laguna colourway so a flesh coured bra is definitely required, unless you want your underwear on show. 😊- Corinna (10/06/2023)
SIZE: Medium COLOUR: Smokey Rose
I just love this Lydia linen tee. A great shape, length and style. Adore the smokey rose colour. Perfect for the warm summer weather that we are currently enjoying on the south coast of England.- Karen (29/05/2023)
SIZE: Small COLOUR: Smokey Rose
Love this top so much I bought it in a second colour! The smokey rose is perfect for summers. It looks great layered with a long sleeved top. Only downside is the ++ cost of it, but I do think the quality is worth it.- Juliette (24/04/2023)
SIZE: Medium COLOUR: Raspberry
Raspberry adds a cheerful punch of colour to the summer palette, and this top also ticks all the boxes with a modest scoop neckline and feminine cap sleeves. I returned the Smokey Rose version because it was slightly transparent, but won’t need a camisole under this Raspberry option. Size M fits well, 10/12 or S/M in Kettlewell.- Jo (06/04/2023)
SIZE: X Small COLOUR: Aquarius
What a lovely top, lightweight and with great drape. Not too low at the front. Tucks in nicely. Just enough midriff room without being too baggy. I will wear it with a cardi as I like to cover my elbows even in hot weather. KW please consider offering a 3/4 sleeve version next time. I'm 5' 2" and a clear spring.- Jenny (02/04/2023)
SIZE: LL COLOUR: Smokey Rose
I am so happy that the Lydia Linen tee made a return to the Kettlewell product lineup! It's perfect for hot summer days as the fabric breathes. It hangs beautifully and fits true to size. It doesn't wrinkle badly after washing either!- Sally (29/03/2023)
SIZE: LL COLOUR: Smokey Rose
Lovely soft linen, not itchy, and the Smokey Rose is a stunning "summer" color. Fit is a little looser in the body than the Cotton V Neck when I compared them, but still neat fitting. Living in a hot climate, I will get a lot of wear out of this!- Jane (04/03/2023)
