Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Petite Beyond Soft Short Sleeve V-Neck Tee

Very soft and comfortable top. Originally ordered my usual Medium, was huge, so returned and got a small. Ended up also purchasing another color. They are comfortable and flattering.

Purchased XS, very loose on me. The purple color is pretty.

Sort of true fit, fabric hugs my belly instead of skimming past it. Fabric is thin.

This top is soft and cool. A summer staple. I love the smocking at the shoulders, makes it a bit different. I don't like the round rubbery LLBEAN label on the lower side. Looks like I left a tag on it. I get comments about that dumb label.

I bought a bigger size than I needed but overall like the shirt.

I normally wear a large in any of the LLBean tee shirt styles. I ordered a large in the carbon navy in this shirt. This is a pretty style and the fabric is lovely but the shirt would need to be altered to fit. The armholes are too large and the sides need to be taken in by 2 inches. I am ordering a medium in another color.

Like this top. It does fit large. I am average for my height and weight and I took a size smaller than usual, and almost could have gone with a petite. So, keep that in mind. It is a nice sleeveless option. 4 stars only because of the inaccurate sizing.

I was shocked the XL was so big on me (I'm almost a 1X), especially because LL Bean doesn't vanity size. The arm holes showed my bra and it was too big in the waist. But the cut is great. Very feminine. I like my clothing to be form-fitting so I ordered a size down.

Runs large, I recommend buying a size smaller than regular

Love the shoulder details. May be uncomfortable for some that don't like the feeling on shoulders

Really nice fabric and drape, shoulders make it a little special (would take it without!) I went down a size and it fits nicely and not too tight.

I bought 3 of these for a family reunion trip. They are very comfortable, light/medium weight, wash up well in cold/line dry, and have a very forgiving tummy drape. I wouldn't wear them for anything but going to the store and camping though. Not a dress up tee. One reviewer complained about water spots showing up on the light grey and I haven't noticed it to be a problem at all (water dries pretty quickly).

The fabric of this tee was nice and soft but be sure to size down--this one ran big on me and the shoulders give it a hospital gown look when they stick out too much! I ordered it online so it went back; will go with an extra small. Make more gray tees, LL Bean! Love the heather grays.

Really like the shirt, color and fit but I do not like the logo on the lower left. I thought at first a size tag had melted into the shirt because it was so hot when it was delivered. I would prefer the logo not be there.

A bought the muted purple.(Thank-you Beans for bringing back purple shades to your clothing-keep it up!) I love the ruching on the sleeves which adds interest. The fabric is comfortable and it drapes well, not boxy like other "relaxed" fits.The v-neck is not too deep. I also appreciate the length which comes to low hip on me. HOWEVER, the shiny, round logo looks like I left a sizing sticker on by accident.-this has been the actual thought of others who have seen the shirt.(my husband even said he expected it to say "inspected by number 54" when he went to "help" me remove it.) If it wasn't shiny maybe it would be less noticeable. I appreciate that at least it is near the bottom, but Beans, if people see something they like they will ask where you bought it. Logos can also limit an item to casual at home wear. I'd like to use some items as casual office wear, too! Anyway, just something to keep in mind.

I'm glad I read the reviews that said this top runs large, because I would have ordered my usual clothing size Extra-Large and been disappointed. I ordered a size Large in three colors and all fit great. (Truth be told, I also ordered size Medium because of the "It's SO BIG!" reviews. But I didn't even open the bags because I was happy with the Large.) Pros: The fabric has a nice drape to it -- no clinging to the spare tire. If you're apple shaped like me, I think you'll appreciate this top. Very flattering, feminine fit. The ruching on the shoulders is a really cute detail that sets this T-shirt apart from a plain tee. Cons: That price. The colors are kind of odd -- muted and plain, which is unexpected for summer. If the colors had really "wow'ed" me and the price was more wallet-friendly, I would have opened the Medium sizes and kept them for a future, svelter me.

I like that this shirt is a little loose, perfect for exercising. It's long on me, so doesn't flow around my hips as I would like. I have a short upper body though so it's not surprising. Fabric is nice, cool, but not see through. Nice shirt!

Very light weight but not see-through. Loose & flowing which is OK by me; comfortable & flattering; covers figure flaws. Does wrinkle slightly in wash, even with fabric softener. Long enough for my long torso, which many LLBean tops are not. Picked because I especially like the detailed gathers across the shoulders. Green is quite pale; OK but would prefer more saturated vibrant pastel.

I am so impressed with the shirt.....the material, the color, the style (flattering!), the length and more! You could wear this hiking or wear it with capri pants for a night out. I ordered a large because I am usually between a large or xlarge, so I sized down. I just re-ordered a Medium and will be comparing it with the Large to decide which one to keep. By the time I got off the phone to place my exchange order, I convinced the customer service rep to order one! She said it is a new item and many sizes/colors are now backordered through mid-April.....so, obviously it's a hit! Highly recommend, even though I am waiting to see which one will be my best fit.

I love the v neck and the cap sleeves. Very good for working out especially for older women who don't want tight fitting or semi-fitted tops. Only suggetion would be to have a bit more of a cap sleeve--not much. Hate those work out shirts whose arm holes come down to your waist.

I bought these in all 4 colors and I just love them. I would give them 4.5 stars instead of 5, because the material is so soft, it tends to catch on my other clothes and kind of get stuck, if that makes any sense. It does run a little big also, and the instructions machine dry on "no heat". I don't really run that kind of load , so I guess I will hang dry these. All in all, extremely cute, I like how they look on with slim jeans, capris and crops. Seem like they'll be really comfortable, too, but I can't really wear them yet because still winter here in Pennsylvania.

I loved the shirt, but i was very disappointed that it got a snag in it on the first wear.

Comfortable basic tee. The fit is at least a full size larger than expected. Although I purchased a petite size M, it feels more like a regular size L through the shoulders and chest.

I like the shirt but the color (blue-green). Looks nothing like the picture. It looks more like the picture of the Sea Pine.
