Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Midweight Cotton Slub Rollneck Pullover

I had been gifted this sweater in light green and really liked to weight and fit so purchased a second sweater in rose color. The second one was the same size, petite medium, but was considerably larger in all dimensions. Maybe if i was and put in the dryer it will shrink a bit..

Too fitted for my body. Too tight around midsection.

Followed wash and dry instructions, a lot of shrinkage. Will be returning! Great fit prior to washing, short and tight after washing

Decent feel, not too thick, not too thing. However, it was big overall- width and length. Returned. I purchased the Petite XS- I am 5'2", 97 pounds.

This is a great sweater. I have one that I've had for years and put it in the washing machine and dryer. It came out great. I just bought another one and laundered the same way only to have 12 holes appear in the sleeves. LLBean won't give me credit since I didn't follow the laundering tag inside the sweater. I think LLBean needs to put a notice on the outside of the package to alert customers to follow special laundering needs of this very sensitive sweater. Very disappointed because it's a nice sweater, but requires too much attention.

I bought four of these sweaters, they are very comfortable, the slightest bit see through if you wear a dark bra underneath a light color. I bought them in a mix of regular and Tall. The Blue Green Color in large regular seemed extra short when I received it so I exchanged it for the same size in a tall, my other tall version of this sweater was about 2 inches longer with longer sleeves than the tall blue green version. It was like I received a regular sweater instead of a tall, overall the fit seems off compared to the other ones, it looks almost wider. Both the regular and tall versions I received of the blue green color seemed shorter in sleeve and overall length. I liked the color so I kept it. Just be wary on the blue green color or prepared to return it unless you have shorter arms and a shorter trunk then it's fine. Otherwise they are nice light sweaters and the other ones fit nicely - if you have a longer trunk or prefer longer sleeves definitely order the tall version.

I purchased this same sweater several years ago in lavender, size PM. I loved the pastel color. Over the years, the arms became too snug so I donated it. When I saw this in the same lavender color being offered at a sale price I jumped at it but had to order it in a Regular Large as it was not available in a Petite. The sweater was much too long for me and, unfortunately, I had to return it. LLBean, please consider offering this sweater in pastel colors. The colors during the past year have been autumnal (navy, brown, dark green, maroon) and not all of us can wear them. Pastel colors would be wonderful for Spring!

Allergic to wool, so when I find a cotton knit that keeps me warm, I'm thrilled! Cosy fit, kept its shape beautifully after washing.

I ordered3 of these sweaters and they are very nice but very delicate! You really need to wash them on delicate ! I did but on the blue one a small hole in the fabric is now on the back! Not sure how happened, but I sew it!

I like the color and material a lot. Always good to have a lightweight sweater for layering! The sweater is described as sitting at the hip in terms of length but it was not the case on me (i'm on the petite side, 5'2" and shorter torso) and if you look closely at the model, she has very sneakily tucked it into her jeans in the front. So, it fully covers my behind, just barely, and that's not the most flattering fit on me plus with the high neck i feel like i'm disappearing in it a bit. I can't decide whether or not i want to return it, but i think for $50 i should feel better about how i look in something brand new. I'll give it another try in leggings and see if that changes my mind!

Color not as depicted in photo - Color is more grey than green

The fabric was very nice and I hated to return this sweater but it was too long for my shapeor not loose enough at the hemline to be flattering.

It's nice fabric, but I don't like the way it hangs on me. I'm short and thin. Although I enjoy wearing clothing that isn't skin tight, i.e., loose-fitting, this hangs too low on me and looks very sloppy. So I'm returning it with a sigh of regret.

Very pretty mid-weight sweater. Kind of long in the body - altho' I'm shorter (5'3"). The color was not quite as vibrant as I expected from the pic in the catalog, but still nice.

Pretty color and good fit. But, it faded onto other clothes when washed.

Sorry but I didn't like the color. Was hoping for more of a deep pink. Size is fine for me and I have two others in different colors. One I've owned for years!

Great color, good fit, but disappointed that the bottom is loose, with an already stretched out feeling.

I ordered the tall medium paperwhite and found the knit to be a very light yarn and mildly see through. I would have needed to wear a camisole under it. The other colors besides paperwhite might be nice if you are looking for a very lightweight sweater. The overall style is nice. It also ran large. I ordered a different sweater in the same medium tall size and it was perfect.

Loved the color and also that is was light weight but after a couple of times worn it seems to be pilling I have had the light tan one since last year and have worn many times and no problem

I'm not really happy with this sweater and am going to return it. I haven't washed or worn it yet, but it seems to have gotten really stretched out just from trying it on and ends up looking pretty sloppy, especially under the arms and in fronttoo much fabric. I bought the paperwhite color, and it's so sheer that you can see where my jeans are at my waist beneath it.

I bought the dark blue sweater it was a five star purchase for me. I loved it so much I bought a second pink sweater. Both medium petite. The pink was way too large for me, I measured it compared to the blue. The sleeves and width of the pink was 3 inches larger than the blue. Ordering mail order mandates size regularity or the buyer loses confidence in the retailer.

I ordered same size I usually get for sweaters but this felt too tight & shorter than my taste.

Nice color but too snug in the body and loose in the arms for me (5’8”, 140)

A nice looking sweater but too lightweight for a Boston winter if you are worried about warmth. Neck is more scooped than appears on model.

This pullover is a bit too thin for me, and doesn't fit well.
