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

I bought 2 tops on line. Colors & style are really pretty. I bought a large but am returning because when I tried them on at home the size felt more like a 2x! Sadly returning.

Bought size small as always but this is way too big and too long. Would fit great if I was several months pregnant but I'm not. I will be Returning this oversized tee. It fit across the bust but not waist so a smaller size wouldn't work.

OMG...was this top super sheer, AND though rather loose-fitting in some areas, it was still clingy around chest which made it even more sheer. Super soft and comfy, just not the visual comfort-level for me, and just too clingy; Returning.

Okay fabric, drab color and way too big. I returned it.

The fabric is very nice and soft. However, the fit is quite big. I wear an xsmall which is what I ordered, but this one fits like a medium. No worries about putting this in the dryer either as it does not shrink!

This shirt ran very large. LL Bean has always been so consistent in their sizing. It was disappointing.

Much too long and I do want a shirt that covers part of the hip. This shirt fit more like a nightshirt. The fabric was very thin and artificial in texture. A disappointment. Returned.

I wanted to love this top. The fabric was very soft and lightweight. The ruching detail on the shoulder was super cute and just the kind of thing I look for in a T-shirt to dress it up a little. The picture made it look like the shirt would be slightly fitted but not tight. In reality, it was shaped like a square, hung really loose on me, and was totally unflattering. I ordered a small (normally I'd wear a medium) so it would be more fitted, but I was swimming in it. I wish the photos would accurately display what the garment looks like. For someone who is more square shaped on top, it could be really cute, but this was not for me.

Dusty purple color was pretty and fabric was nice, but this top was ridiculously wide. Looked like a sack on me. I returned it

The picture indicated a darker blue, but the actual t shirt was way too faded. It did not look fresh and new, it looked worn out. It was way too big. Returned.

I read reviews and chose this T over others because the shoulder detail was unique, and I knew it was described a "relaxed" fit. What I didn't know was how relaxed! And because I had gained some weight I went with size small, Yes, it is super soft and it is so relaxed I plan to use it as a sleep shirt. It is way too sloppy to wear any other way, and too much trouble to return.

The relaxed fit of this shirt is far more relaxed than every other L L Bean relaxed fit shirt I own making my usual size small feel very large. The fabric is wonderful and the ruching at the shoulders create interest in what would have been a very plain tee. I might have kept the shirt if it hasn't had that silicone-like coin-shaped L L Bean logo patch on the lower left side of the shirt. Each time my arm hit the patch it stuck to my skin ...and I'M NOT A WALKING ADVERTISEMENT! Shirt being returned.

Way too large. Medium fit more like an extra large.

I thought the shoulder detail was so cute that I immediately ordered this shirt. I knew it was loose fitting and I've ordered this type before and was happy. However, the shoulder detail seems to drape more to the back i.e., you can't really see it from the front. The shirt drapes totally shapeless, with no body whatsoever. It hangs like a worn out t-shirt. So very disappointed.

The shirt was far too baggy for my liking. It made me look way larger than I am. The bonus was that it is really comfortable. The material is unbelievably soft, stretchy and cozy.It needs to be far more fitted though. The bottom bows out and looks like I am wearing a potato sack. Love the material but that doesn't excuse the way it looks.

Starts out as "Beyond Soft", but even after laundering as instructed, pilling develops and fabric becomes limp and stretched around the neck. I wished it stayed as beautiful and smooth as when I bought it.

The color was exactly what I was looking for but the size was way too big. I guess I have to stay with your Petite, Petites size so they will fit. Please, please come out with colors like gray, tan, brown, or rust in petite tees. I'm so tired of the same colors every year!

I love the color and the cut but very disappointed with the quality of this top. After the first & second wash, the V-neckline lost it's shape and will not lay flat. Now looks a bit shabby. Not the quality I expect from L.L. Bean!

I returned this shirt. Very thin and clingy fabric and a odd cut. Not flattering at all.

Looked cute in the catalog, but I didn't it at all. I hated the shoulder treatment and the pulled-out v-neck. The fabric is too thin and wouldn't work as any kind of sun protection. It doesn't drape well And the color doesn't look like either the catalog or the online photo. It's supposed to be some kind of salmon, but it's just plain neon orange.

Way too big. LlBean needs to rethink their sizing. Hangs like a tent with gaping arm holes

This tee is soft with a relaxed fit. It sits away from the body. I did not like the oversized look of the tee.

I was so excited to get this top! I liked the shoulder ruching detail. It was simple and could be worn everyday. I purchased a few colors without thinking twice. When it arrived, I tried it on immediately and was disappointed. The top of the shirt was very cute. It was very lightweight and good for warm weather, but the bottom was bulky and made me look huge. I don't want a top that hugs my belly, but this top was too wide at the bottom. It wasn't what I was expecting. I could tuck it in, but I was hoping for something that could lay nicely and stay untucked. Unfortunately, I will be returning them.

Boxiest, most shapeless tee ever! Side seams with no sleeves design give it a very strange fit (if you could even call it a "fit"). Can't believe Bean actually sells this item. The soft mint/seafoam color is the only thing this tee has going for it.

This is a cute t-shirt, the fit is good and it's long enough for me. But in the LLBean description it claims to be machine wash and dry. It's not. It's machine wash delicate cycle and no-heat dryer only. That's basically hand wash and dry which is not what I wanted in a $40 t-shirt. I want to run it through the laundry with the rest of my clothes. Because it's a t-shirt! Stop making t-shirts out of fabric that will disintegrate or shrink if you wash and dry them.
