Ratings & reviews
Write a reviewI wanted to like this Sleeveless Two Way Top as it seemed like a good idea. However, for me, wearing the boat neck to the front just didn't feel comfortable. Also, I found that with the double material and the long line, there was too much material below the waist. I did love the light dove grey colour.
I bought the canary yellow (fabulous colour) in the sale thinking this would be a lovely smart summer top. However, it is one Kettlewell product I have had problems with. The V neckline would not sit neatly, it puckered and gaped. I tried to work out if it had just been ironed incorrectly as there did not seem to be a manufacturing fault. Perhaps I just tried the wrong size? I found the reverse side a bit too high on the neckline for me. Sadly returned.
I bought this top in French Blue, which is a fabulous colour! I like the double lining to provide a bit more structure and to avoid being see-through. For me, the top is a bit long and I always find armholes on sleeveless items a bit large, rather than fitting neatly. However this is such a lovely colour and with the V neck being just right and flattering, so I will keep it. I bought it in the sale so feel it was value for money, I would not likely buy it at full price.
I was very late to the party ordering this top so only two Spring colours left in my size. On the one hand I was disappointed that I missed out on the other two colours but very pleased to purchase it at the reduced price. It's a beautiful top and the fit is excellent, not too clingy. Being able to wear it as a v-neck or boat neck is a bonus. I was so pleased with my purchase that I also ordered another one in Canary Yellow. I also managed to get free P & P for both tops, another bonus.
As a clear spring I absolutely LOVE light dove grey. It is my favorite neutral and Kettlewell nailed the color perfectly. The style is fantastic as well - my two best necklines in one fully lined top. If there were more in this color available in my size I would buy backups which is something I rarely do. Would love to see more light dove grey in other styles too.
I bought two of these in Flame and Seaspray resold by a KW Colour Club person who didn't get on with the style. I bought them as layering items as I'm far too old to do serious sleeveless and look remotely elegant. But on a warm, humid and dull day in Ilkley, now pouring rain, I am going out soon to a function at Bradford Cathedral. I have my Almond Peach Weekend skirt on, with the Seaspray top, and then a Shelley (I think) in Red Earth, also second-hand. This style will also look good under a faux wrap or anything where you can have warmth without negotiating a double sleeve. Excellent tops.
I was looking for a sleeveless top to wear with a summer skirt and this top fitted the bill exactly with the benefit of being able to wear 2 ways. I already tried one of these tops last year and know they are very close fitting so ordered in size LL. It fits perfectly without exposing the assets so to speak.
I was hesitant to order this after reading some of the reviews, but I find this top very flattering and a fantastic layer under a cotton cardigan. I am a size M in most Kettlewell items, and this is no exception. I love that it's not too long--at 5'8" it's just right for me to wear with med- high waisted jeans. The cassis is great, too!
Genius idea having a top that can be worn in different ways. Both neckline suits me and the vivid colour compliments many trousers and shorts I have. The quality is excellent as it’s double lined front and back. I will definitely look to buy more of this style.
I bought this top for my friend's 50th who has never shopped from Kettlewell. She had her colours analysed a long time ago but she doesn't stray much out of charcoal, black and I wanted to get her something striking. Ideally I would have gone for non crossover winter colour but she talked about teals and there were none for winter so I went for chinese blue. The top itself looked lovely on her. She is tall and slim inverted triangle and I bought a size small which suited her frame. She wore it with low front but it looked equally good with the high front. She liked the double layer. I think i will try one myself.
