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

I generally like my t-shirts a little long, so even thought I'm not very tall, I order the regular instead of petit and am always happy with the length. I didn't heed the warning in the negative reviews about the new length. This length is ridiculous, and the shirt seems more fitted. I understand the petit is only about an inch shorter, so I won't bother replacing it with the petit XL. If you look at the photo of one of my older pima cotton tees over the new one, you will see the extreme difference in the new length. Note: Your "How did it fit question is too vague. Answer is A LITTLE SNUG BUT TOO LONG.

Shrunk in length, so disappointed! All came separately, sad

I was very disappointed in Pima Cotton T shirt and shell. I have been buying these shirts for many years. The fit was always great. Now they are so much longer even though I wear a petite small. If I layer it with a sweater it sticks out and not in a stylish way. I will no longer be purchasing them.

I've always worn a medium petite in these tops but this one did not fit like my others - it was too long in the body & looked tight around my hips. I was very disappointed & returned the top.

I bought a shirt of this style a few years ago. It was superb. I wear it a lot and it still looks new. The cut was very flattering, so I thought I'd try a different color. The proportions are completely different and completely unworkable. I thought it might be the size, so I exchanged for the next size, but that did not help. The fabric is still nice and the color is good, butt the cut is awful.

I have always loved this style LLBEAN shirt. However they now have become longer, & much narrower than previously.. Consequently, & sadly I had to return them

I just got this shirt and have only worn a couple of times and there are already holes worn in the front.

I ordered the same size Pima V-Neck Short Sleeved shirt I ordered last year and the two that came today do not fit the same. Shirt is longer and tighter around the hips. Very disappointed as this was my go too shirt for a great fit. I noticed there are no reviews on this shirt so obviously something changed about it.

These shirts shrunk lengthwise after the first wash. Now they are too short to wear. Not real happy that I had to toss these considering how much I paid for them.

Why did you go and change a perfect t shirt? The ones from last year were perfect. These years is too long and runs small.

It was not at all like the long sleeve Pima cotton shirts ll bean sells. It was thin, clingy and just plain unattractive. Love the long sleeve Pima cotton, these were terrible

I have wore this Pima cotton tees for years. Would buy to wear to work, layering under sweaters suit jacket. Material soft silkie feel. Assorted Necklines were tight and neat. This spring I ordered 5 new shirtsmaterial not like old,neckline has not held its shape. Even binding on necklines not neat. They come out of dryer looking bad, really needs an iron run over them.. I am so disappointed. I consider these new shirt as everyday junkers. What did you do with the beautiful Pima cotton tees??

At 25 inches, it is too long to be called petite. Had to return.

I have had an inventory of pima cotton tees for many years. Paired with nice slacks & a scarf, they were my uniform when I was still working. So many, in fact, it has been quite a while since I've had to replenish. The new tees compared to my old ones, which are still in very good condition, are so cheap. The length of the regular is more suited to a tall person. I'm short but never had to purchase a petite size in this tee. The material is so thin. It's become an overpriced discount store quality product.

Beautiful colors but the sizing is way off! I usually wear a medium in LL Bean - Women's 10/12. These tshirts are super tight. There is no way these are a 10/12.

Too tight and too much of a hassle sending it back so I will give it away

I have been wearing v-neck supima cotton shirts for so many years. Recently, they are very long and tight in the torso, as if it has spandex built into it, even though it says 100% cotton. I thought I had gained weight. Not at all a flattering fit unless you're trying to show off every curve. I just put on an old shirt and it still fits great and feels like good quality cotton. Why eliminate a good product? Why not offer 2 different fit options: regular/loose fit and tight fit? If Levi's can do it with so many different cuts of jeans, why can't LLBean? My favorite shirt is ruined. Clearly, I'm not the only one who feels this way.

I love this fabric and tees! I've worn them for 30 years. But I DO NOT like the recent change to "shaped" styling. Too tight in the body and the waist is in the wrong place. Also, the scoop neck with elbow length sleeves are no longer carried. Given the quality and looks of this tee it worked great with professional clothing. The tees are so soft, keep their color, minimal shrinkage and come in a great number of styles and colors. I'm sorry that I will have to shop elsewhere. :-(

Bad quality, too big. Returned and won't purchase again.

I have MANY of these from several years back and loved them. But I finally needed some new ones. Unfortunately, they have changed the cut so it's too tight in the hips now and too long. I tried to go up a size but then it's too big in the shoulders. Please bring back the old cut! No one who is a Plus size wants to show off their tummy bulges!

LL Bean is the only online co. I order clothes from as quality and sizing are always on point. I was very disappointed with my Pima tee. I am in the process of returning this product. I was not aware of your NEW sizing. I have this tee in 6 other colors- all women size small. This time women small was huge. Mentioned to a friend and she told me about NEW sizing.

I will be returning it. I wore it two times and it has tiny pin holes in it. I'm disappointed because I like the style, color and length. I like that it is cotton but it's a very cheap cotton.

I have many of the pima v-neck shirts from years ago, and they are still among my favorites. But the style was changed recently to make the shirt more fitted and longer length. Great, if you have a tall, slender figure with small hips! On me, the new shape is too long-- it clings to my hips and rises up to bunch above the hip area. It is too tight in the hips and too long. The older version hit at the very top of the hip. I wish you would go back to the shorter, boxier version.

Washed once and both shirts shrunk. Would fit a 6 year old! Really disappointed. All my other purchases always held up through washings.

I've been buying exclusively LL Bean Pima cotton t-shirts for 30+ years. The quality of the cotton and colors have consistently been superb. I loved the version with U-shaped neck and elbow length sleeves. The quality was so good and the style was suitable for professional outfits. I ordered three v-neck shirts and see I failed to read the words "shaped) and "longer". They no longer fit me. I hope LL Bean would continue to offer this "dressy, U-neck" pima cotton t-shirts.
