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

Soft material and comfortable. Easy to dress up or down. I got it in purple with is a soft earthy shade.

Love the way this top looks. The stitch detail on the shoulder is really pretty. If you don't mind your upper arms showing a bit this is a very flattering top. Runs a bit big but I don't feel the need to size up, I like the loose fit. Please offer in pure white!

Love the soft fabric, bought a second color a size down because it runs large!

Great too! I got the purple and it is an easy piece!

Fits perfectly. Love the way it feels and the way it comes out of the washer/dryer. Wish it came in a wider range of colors.

Love these tops! Very nice quality fabric and seem to be well made. And they look great on! Would definitely purchase them again. I love the shoulder details that take them from a tee to a nice top.

Love it! It is cut a bit large - so I went down a size. It is best to try it on to see which size fits you.

I liked the first one so well that I bought a second. The fabric is good quality and the ruching on the sleeves makes the shirt slightly dressier than a regular tee. It launders wellno shrinkage.

I consistently take either a Petite XL or a Petite L in LL Bean tops. I read the warnings that this item ran large and so bought a Petite L. That was still way too big! I finally got hold of a Petite M and I think that looks like the right size for me, so that my shape is a little evident. I guess in the pictures the models are wearing oversized versions that fit the way that the Petite Large did for me, but that style looks like either pajamas or a maternity top on me (and I don't think the usually attractive plus-size model looks her best in the oversized version she is wearing either). In any case, it runs at least one size too big and maybe two sizes too big, depending on how you want to look. The purple color is really lovely and I might consider one of the other versions as well.

The shirring at shoulder makes it a bit dressier than most tees. The shirt skims over hips and is comfortable but not too baggy. I bought a second one after trying the first. The only thing I'd change is the dime shaped logo near left hip. The first came off with an iron and the second in the dryer leaving a round sticky patch I'll now have to remove with an iron and towel.

SC summers render even cotton too hot and heavy to wear. The fabric of this item is what is needed in our tropical environment. It is the lightest material I've ever worn, and I'll be purchasing more, but in a medium instead of large -- it's that roomy. And I'm a person who doesn't like close-fitting clothing. This is a winner for humid weather.

This is a great summer tee. The fabric drapes nicely and the detail at the shoulder gives this top a unique look. I purchased in the purple and it's a very pretty color.

So comfortable! I now own 3 in different colors.

Very comfortable, I am a big fan of Modal fabric. It almost ran a little big, but it's true to size. I think the style is just kind of boxy and forgiving and will work on anybody. It's a basic top with nice gathers at the shoulder that lend some since of style which is very boxy. I bought two colors, the pink is a mauvy, rosy peach that was not as flattering as I hoped. It just kind of blended into my skin tone looked rather blah. A solid basic.

there is enough stretch to fit nicely not to tight

Purchased XL so it would drap nice over slacks - perfect fit. Looks good for work, can be dressed up for evenings out, and casual wear. Soft and light weight for hot humid days. Haven't washed yet but material will be wash and wear as the wrinkles from packaging disappeared after it was hung up. Liked it so well bought 2 more colors.

I love this tee. I hope ll bean continues to carry this style and in more colors and patterns. It's very flattering and has soft material that is very comfortable. For reference, I'm 5'2 and 145 lbs. I washed it and hung to dry. No shrinkage. Highly recommend.

I love this top - I've ordered all colors that are available! The fit is exactly what I was looking for, it does not cling, it drapes nicely, and very soft and comfortable. I ordered a few in regular and a few in petite, and think I like the petite better since I'm just 5'3". Great quality is a given when you purchase from LLB. I live in FL and this is perfect for the hot, humid Summer weather we get. I'm sure I will be wearing them in the Spring and the Fall as well!

This top is a little longer than most, and I wear it outside a skirt or pants. The extra length makes my torso look longer, and therefore slimmer. It is slightly shaped but loose, though not baggy at all. The fabric is very soft and drapes nicely. So comfortable! I usually wear L or XL but ordered L. I had to exchange it for M, which fits perfectly. I plan to purchase more in other colors

Nice fabric, fit, color and drape. I bought 2!

I love this shirt! It fits well on my frame. Soft and comfortable, with a bit of shape/flair. These run large, so for example if you're typically a medium, go for a smaller size.

Love this top. The fit is perfect and very comfortable on hot days.

I wish I bought this 1 size down - its a bit baggy on me. That aside, I could live in this comfy shirt. Love the details on the sleeves and the overall shape - a great summer Tshirt!

Loved this so much I got one in every color. Hot and humid where I live and wears well in it. Drapes loosely and dries quick. Runs huge so definitely size down and it still fits loose.Normally I wear a medium. Super soft material!

I love this material, love the detail at the top of the sleeves, sizing is good for me. Some reviewers have said this runs large but I don't like tight-fitting tops so it was perfect for me.
