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

Love the way this t-shirt drapes on the body....shoulder gathering is very flattering, it's super soft and comfortable. I only wish it came in 8 more colors! Thank you for this beautiful new style.

Loved the color and the fit was fine....getting used to the shoulder detail.

Material is nice, style is flattering. Based on other reviews I did order a size down (a medium, am usually a large in LLB shirts) and it was perfect.

The relaxed fit is so comfortable and the length is great. As an older woman I don't look great in sleeveless, but the little cap sleeve and V neck on this top provide a lovely profile. I feel gorgeous when I wear this.

Comfy, roomy, ready for summer...perfect for Texas summers

This shirt is SO soft & comfortable! It does run large, so consider a size smaller. Please offer more colors! I love it!

I bought two of these cute tops, hoping the reviews suggesting you order the next size down were correct. I usually wear a petite Medium, but the Small fit me perfectly! I love the softness of the fabric, which has just a bit of stretch, and the weight of it--not too heavy yet not thin enough to see through. Even in the Small, this top was not tight anywhere, it just skims lightly over everything (including the tummy area). What initially caught my eye was the V neck. Why don't they make more shirts with a V neck, they are so flattering on everyone! So this is definitely a 5-star top, and I'll bet you will love it!

I ordered this shirt in two colors and like them very much. I bought the petite size large and am using them for casual wear with sweatpants and pajama bottoms. They are equally cute with jeans as well. I am pleased with my purchase of both colors, rose and turquoise blue.

I'm a fan! Super soft and comfortable. The material feels nice and it's not clingy. Looking forward to wearing it a lot this summer. More colors, please!

I love the fit and the color! (Nautical Aqua) This shirt is just what I have been looking for. Its a bit oversized, very comfortable, nice quality and light weight. I am planning to buy a 2nd one in another color!

After reading other reviews, I had to add my own. I try all of LLBean's things, and after purchasing this top, I have to say that it is perfect. Take a good look at the photo of the model. This is exactly what the shirt will look like. It's meant to be comfy and oversized. It fits very well at the neck and shoulders, but it's roomy through the body. It's perfect for yoga, hiking, or exercise activities....those times when you want to look put together, but you plan on being active and also want to be cool and unrestricted. I purchased these with the vista camp shorts and the athleisure tank, all for hiking and hot activities this summer. I can't wait to wear them!! I would recommend these to anyone looking for something that fits as shown. The fabric is light and cooling.

So it does fit relaxed when compared to my other LLB shirts of the same size, but it is such a great shirt. If you *really* like your shirts fitted, def go down a size. What makes this shirt soar is the **great cap sleeves**!!! Nice ruching at the shoulder is a great accent too. We definitely need more cap sleeve LLB options- so keep it up! Super soft material- came back to order more shirts as soon as I tried this one on.

So, I read the fit information before purchasing, and based on the fact that this is listed as "Relaxed Fit - our most generous fit" I sized down from my normal large to a medium. Now, I have a long torso - so often sizing down means that the tops are too short. Not this time! I'm so, so happy with these tops. Even with the extra weight many have put on in the last year, the medium fits and isn't too clingy, even with jeans. The v isn't so deep that I'll be exposing too much of myself if I wear this under a sweater/blazer for work, the fabric is divinely soft and feels substantial enough that it will hold up to washings, and the light blue color is NOT see through. I ordered all 4 colors and I'll be keeping them all, as I have a feeling that I'll be living in these for spring and summer. The sleeve length is as-shown. The navy blue is more washed out than shown/I'd prefer, but it's navy, so I'll keep it. 2 recommendations for LLBean: 1) the logo should be along the bottom seam; it's location up about 2" is rather awkward (my husband thought I had a tag on me), 2) let's get some other colors in here! black, white, and maybe something else fun for spring/summer. These are the kind of shirts you can in live in 7 days a week. TLDR: as-promised, beautiful shirt, worth the money. If you want it to fit like model, size down (long enough for people with long torsos), if you want a baggy fit, go with your normal size.

This shirt is soft, comfortable and cool. The color is beautiful, and the detail at the shoulders is cute. The size is definitely larger than normal, with a longer shirttail in the back. I don't know if the large size was due to an error in sizing or an attempt at the fashionable oversize look.

Fabric has some stretch - not quite as loose as I expected.

Hangs beautifully but runs a little big. If I get another color, I will size down.

I like this top, but my only problem was the symbol close to the hem. I called LLBean about it, because I thought it was a defect. They said it wasn't. It can barely be seen on the fabric, which is pink. It looks like it was washed and a residue was left on it. It is a little sticky to the touch.

I like the soft as butter feel to the material, the v neck is attractive and cool. The orange color is great for autumn.

This runs BIG! I never know if I should get a L or M. Last minute I opted to size down to a M! And even the M is BIG on me! I'm not a small person; tho carry it in my hip area. I'm 5'5" and weigh 165. Most times I need a L. This time I could've probably gotten away w/a S! I DO love it! Tho a bit costly for my small budget. Sometimes you Need to splurge. This is made VERY WELL! The sheering on the shoulders gives it depth and breaks up a lot of blah in a plain shirt. I'm over all Happy I got this! I just wish I had tried the S out. But I'll keep the M! I will even be able to possibly wear this into the late Fall in VA!

Well made but baggy in the middle. If you are a little thicker in tummy & waistline this shirt would be perfect for you. I returned this one.

Soft, lightweight fabric. Pretty color. Shoulder detail is attractive. It's roomier than I expected.

This is a very breathable shirt on hot days, staying comfortable on humid summer days. The shoulder detail doesn't jump out, adding just a fun touch without being fussy. Fit is loose, as advertised. I wish it was a bit shorter but its a keeper

Very soft and comfy! It isn't fitted in any way, and it loose around the middle

It is very comfortable and the color I got is perfect for a skirt that I have. My inly wish is that the sleeve was a bit longer. It is really like a cap sleeve.

This shirt is so soft & feels wonderful. It's just a little more "boxy" than I would have liked it, so not really flattering. But it's comfortable & cool in our SC summers! I am 5 foot, 120 pounds, ordered a small petite.
