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

The top was nice quality. I did send it back because it was to fitted around the middle and long for my body type. I have purchased many tops from LLBean this was the first problem with size.

I purchase the Petite EX in the crewneck and the V-neck. I had to return all the V-necks because they were 2" longer than the crewnecks. I love the quality of the T but was disappointed in the lengh of the shirt.

This shirt is very high quality, as are all supima shirts from LLBean that I have bought over the years. But this year they are all SOOO long. This shirt came down to just above my knee. I realize the trend is to longer shirts now, but this is ridiculous. Had I wanted a tunic I would have shopped for a tunic. I will not be ordering anything else from LLBean until the trend reverses.

I bought a 3X and this shirt is way too small for a 3x. I feel like Bean shirts always run small. The material was nice and soft and I would have loved to wear this. I wish they would adjust their sizing for a better fit. I hate to return items, especially when there's a fit issue. It gets expensive at $6 every time.

Come on. Do women really supply with their personal statistics to leave a review? I am a grown woman and am not 25. I don't want or need my tshirt clinging to every hill and gully of my body. It is a Tshirt. It should be soft, comfy, lightweight and not clinging. Not all women's clothing needs lycra. Few women over 50 want Lycra for a tshirt. Got them, liked the color and the length not the clinginess. Returned them all

I purchased two "V" neck Pima cotton t-shirts along with a few crew Pima cotton T's. The description is the same for both shirts except for the neckline. When I got them home and tried them on, the "V" neck T's are at least 1.5 inches longer than the crew neck. Why aren't' they the same length? I had to return them because they are just too long. If you are going to make them longer than the other T's of the same style and fabric, then say so in the description please.

It's a decent T-shirt the issue I have with it it says Pima cotton and nowhere on the description can you find out the rest of the ingredients in the T-shirt which happens to be 40% polyester. I really don't like stretchy T-shirts and polyester is cold or hot when it's warm out. I'd send them back if it wasn't too much hassle so I'll keep them and wear them out but will not be ordering more. It would be nice if the description including the accurate information because I would not have ordered then.

I have bought these tees several times in the past couple of years. The length, size petite M, has been perfect. For some unknown reason, the style has changed. My newest purchase is 2+ inches longer. It stops mid thigh. Ridiculous.

The color "beach glass" discolored after one wearing. I never had that happen with a bean shirt (or any shirt for that matter). L.L.Bean did return the shirt. Bummer for the color is very pretty. This did not happen with other colors thus 3 stars.....just a warning about beach glass.

Unhappy with new length of Pima Cotton Short-Sleeve V-Neck X-Large Petite sizing. It is too long! I've been buying Women's X-Large Petite Pima Cotton Short-Sleeve V-Neck and Crew Neck T-Shirts for about 10 years and have always been happy with them. I received the new V-Neck T-Shirts in Beach Glass and Raven Blue a couple of weeks ago and washed them as usual and put them in the drawer. Today I put on the new V-Neck in Beach Glass and discovered the length was much longer than previously purchased T-Shirts. I checked it against the previous purchases in Petite X-Large size and found it was 2 inches longer. The 2 new Crew Neck Pima Cotton Short Sleeve X-Large Petite are the same length as the others that I have purchased in the past but are 2 inches shorter than the new V-Neck style.

Ordered two pima cotton shirts, size 3x, as that is what always fit me. These were 2 inches longer , measured against the previous purchases, and seemed baggy across the torso. Now I will have to find a new source or be satisfied with what I have.

I purchased 3 of these pima cotton. When you first wear them, they are perfect. After the first wash, which is cold water and line drying, they shrink and the bottom becomes stretched out and sloppy looking. I have purchased these pima cotton years back and this fabric is not the same. Costs too much to ship back.

I purchased the same shirt in navy and black. They fit great. So I decided to order one in white. The white shirt is a different cut. It's smaller through the neckline, shoulders and bust.

Nice color, good fit. Did not like the fabric. Although I love, and have worn, your Pima Cotton Tees for years, this shirt had too much artificial fabric - perhaps Lycra? Not sure what the fabric mix was, but it is different from your earlier Pima Cotton shirts. I returned the shirt.

a lot of your tees are too warm for us in the south. I love the short sleeve tees but this year they are either sown down the middle (yuk) or too thin (organic I guess.) I live in Texas. I have been buying your tees for sometime but recently the quality has changed. Also, hard to get stains out of pima.

The fabric is nice. By relaxed, I expected something closer to the old "shaped" sizing of a few years ago. This is ok in the shoulders and chest but way too long and clingy otherwise. I sent the shirts back. My preference is a shirt that stops at the high hip that needs no rolling or bunching. Loved the old Shaped style.

They're great shirts, if the length works for you, but see below for the warning. A 5 star garment has lost 2 stars and my business. I guess the design has changed, not for the better, in my opinion.I have been buying these shirts for several years, and have loved them. But these did not fit as well. FACTS: My oldest shirts are 13" from bottom of armhole to hem. Newer ones are 15". I guess I could live with that (despite the mid-life bulge). They do NOT shrink with washing, but I line dry. This order? 17.5" and 16.75" long!!!! I'm not getting taller. I buy petite because I need that in sleeve length, pants length, and shirt length. I can hem these or simply return them. You let me down L.L. IDEA: Would Bean consider listing length in the description? I have seen this for shirts (not just skirts and pants) on some sites. It is incredibly helpful. I didn't think I would ever need that for a petite garment.

I agree with other reviewers, these tees are too long. I ordered a lovely color and liked it well enough that I paid to have the shirt shortened! These longer lengths must be made for wear with the low rider pants that are so popular these days - but not everyone wears that style. Too bad because the quality and color is great!

This tee is made well. The weight of the fabric is perfect and is true to size but unfortunately it is too short on me. I have several shirts from L.L. Bean and this is the case with all of them. These shirts need to be at least 2 inches longer so that when I move my arms my whole stomach doesn't show. I unfortunately have 4 shirts I barely wear for this reason but wanted to give them a try and have had them too long to return them. The short length makes me look bigger than I am as well. Doesn't sit right on my body.

First the pluses: the fabric is perfect weight--not too thick or too thin and is a lovely soft and smooth cotton. And the longer length is good--I quit buying the pima t shirts a long time ago because, as other reviewers have pointed out they were too short and boxy and would shrink even more. This t shirt is much more flattering and stylish with the length and fitting closely (but not clingy). The only negative is (and LL Bean is not the only company to do this) the weird, what I call "bat wings" underarms--when did this become a thing?! Too much fabric in the underarm area looks weird when raising the arms and also causes a wrinkle above the breasts when your arms are down. Maybe it was the two t shirts I received because the picture does not show this. Please fix this and offer more colors for the perfect t shirt. I am 5' 5", 146# and got a size Large Misses.

I have sensitive skin so I always buy Bean's pima cotton tee shirts. This shirt had the same great quality pima cotton but now whomever makes the shirts uses cheap nylon thread for the stitching and it rubs on my skin until I scratch myself to death. Why ruin a perfectly wonderful shirt with cheap thread?? Please stop doing this because I think you have lost me as a customer. I thought LL Bean would not sacrifice quality like most other manufacturers have. Disappointed.

Compared to the same shirt in a crew neck style the V neck variety is always too big. Seems more like a medium even though I order an extra small. Disappointing......

nice material but i wish the sleeves were a bit longer and the fit was more forgiving

shape of this shirt was nice but the fabric was thin and flimsy, cheap looking and not durable

I like the look of this shirt, but don't really care for the fit. I'm overweight and the shirt hangs on my love handles. Would look good on a thinner person. Wish L.L. Bean would make women's plus sizes out of the same material as the men's!
