Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Pima Tops Shaped V-Neck Short Sleeve Tee

I'm impressed with the texture and weight of the fabric, but unfortunately the "V" neckline is significantly crooked, which is very disappointing.

V neck cut narrower and longer than crew neck in same size. Returning it.

The fit and sizing has changed since I last bought this Tee. Not sure I'll buy again even with the superb fabric.

Too narrow in shoulders. Nice fabric. Cut and color good. Returned to store to try another size

Great quality: thick & soft cotton, but it shrinks a lot. Based on other reviews that said the shirt runs large, I ordered a size smaller than I normally would. When I tried it on before washing, that size XS was even bit, but after a normal cold wash and dry, it shrank a lot. Based on this, I recommend ordering your regular size.

I've always bragged that LLBean has the best pima tees ever! They are soft and silky and don't seem to fade or lose their shape. I bought this v-neck tee and 2 of the Jewelneck Tee, Elbow-Sleeve which I've purchased before. While they both state that they are slightly fitted, I was so disappointed to see that the v-neck tee is 3+ inches small at the bottom. If I choose to return it I'll be charged $6.50 . . . sooo disappointed.

This is a thick tee, not what I was looking for. Not super soft as advertised.

I have several of these L.L. Bean tees and I have never run into the issue of the color rubbing off onto other items in the laundry. I purchased the teal green color and washed it in cool water with a few other items before wearing. The green ran and left spots on a cardigan sweater and a camisole. I rewashed them but the color did not come out. The cardigan is ruined. Lesson learned, I guess. I love these shirts but just be careful how you launder them.

I decided to order these tees from LL Bean assuming that the quality would be better than Penney's. I was disappointed. I will keep them because of the colors, which I really like, but will not order again.

They shrink upwards, shorter, which does not work for my body. I really want to love this shirt, but I'm afraid if I go any bigger, it will be too baggy, and if I lift my arms up, I'll expose my belly. Really thought I had found the perfect shirt, until it got washed once.

Even though 2x seemed a tad small. Loved the colors and material.

I loved the fabric and was disappointed when I saw how snug it was around the waist. I just returned and ordered the next size. Hopefully that will work.

A little skimpy for my wife. Next size xtra large; too large?

I have many LL Bean tees. Their Petite Large has been a perfect fit until now. I just ordered two and both were skin tight. I have not gained weight and my old ones in that size still fit nicely even though they have been in the dryer countless times. I'm returning these to size up. I hope the company isn't skimping!

Just got one of the "new"fit shirts. Do I need to size up to an extra large for it? Not what we expect from bean. Don't change our fit. Tight in arms and shoulders. Ugg

It was fine, but the second one was packaged and shipped wrong. It was a tank top which I returned.

After reading many positive reviews, I purchased this t-shirt. I like the material which is soft and the V-neck but ... people said it's not boxy comparing to other t-shirts from LLBean. It looks boxy to me. It's not fitted and sits loose. Besides, I ordered size small short/petite and I'm 5'2. It comes all the way on my buttocks and covers it half way meaning that it's regular if not long. I haven't washed it yet to see what happens. There's one more detail about it and that's the sleeve sewing that is very uncomfortable in the underarm area. It's bulky and rubs against the skin. Unfortunately, I ordered 3 different colors cause I thought they are perfect.

Good fit. Great color. Prefer more stretch in the fabric.

I like the material and it washes well, but the top didn't feel like anything special. I kept the one color I wore and returned the one I hadn't opened yet because it just didn't really "do it" for me like I'd hoped.

I recently bought about 6 of these tops. Love the fit and soft material. All the dark ones, black, raven blue, cranberry wash up just fine. The violet chalk one is now unwearable after the first wash due to the armpits area is completely faded/discolored. I use a national brand gel antiperspirant. Don't know why. All the other colors are fine. I love LLBean clothes.

This is not truly a 2X. I have bought older bean shirts and bought the same recently through the company and had to send one back because it is just too stretchy and tight and hugs my abdomen. I'm a little thick through the middle and don't like shirts that hug me. I'm really disappointed with this./

I have loved the previous versions of this tee, so was very disappointed with the changes made to the fit. This tee is now 3" longer, which wouldn't be so bad if they hadn't also shrunk the hip width by at least an inch.

The material doesn't feel like cotton with a bit of spandex, which is what I was expecting.

I have this T from a few years ago and the fit and fabric is just perfect. Wanted to add more of same style to my wardrobe. Unfortunately I just grabbed the same size and style from the rack and did not try on. The fit is much different and not in a good way for me. Disappointed.

This shirt is made much too long and did not shrink up as these shirts from you usually do. I will not be able to wear it.
