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

I wear short sleeved T shirts throughout the year. Ever since menopause I am always overheated. I like the colors, comfort and style, and the petite sizes fall nicely at the hip. I purchase a couple each year.

I love this shirt! The fabric is nice and thick. It did not shrink even when I put it in the dryer, and seems very sturdy. It has not pilled yet and I don't expect it to any time soon, either. I would definitely buy more of these shirts in the future as wardrobe staples.

I own several of these pima cotton v-necks in the previousLY designed fit, but have had to re-purpose them as my gardening and housework shirts because lengthwise, they shrank with each washing! (and I always launder and dry carefully on low settings) So, I was a bit skeptical when I saw the new longer fit, but I must say, I am extremely happy!!! I am just barely over 5 feet, a busty plus size, and the Women's 2x fits me perfectly and the fabric weight and length is just exactly right! Time will tell if I have the shrinkage in the length with this one. See my photos in both the old and new tops (please pardon my baggy gardening britches!) I ordered the Royal Plum and the pretty color is very true to what is pictured online, and I will definitely buy this top in more colors. I just wish the Beans would make them in a chocolate brown color! I hope this review helps those who are hesitant about the new fit in the plus sizes. Best regards for a great day!

I was so happy to see your new redesigned supima v-neck. I have many of the older shirts and some of them are now too short to wear except around the house. The colors are great and they wash well and come out of the drier in very good condition. Thank you so much for making them longer. Please do not go back to the old version.

I have read other reviews that said the shirt was too long and I happen to disagree. I just bought three new shirts to replace the current shirts I have that have been too short for me. The shirt comes below my waist to allow me to tuck in my shirt or fold under. Thank you for making the shirt a little longer. Now that I know the shirt is the perfect size I will be replacing the rest of my shirt that are too short.

I love everything about this shirt. I have read the reviews of people who are unhappy about it not being like it always was but I love the new cut! It is longer (no longer worried about bending over and having the shirt ride up), softer and more flattering. I have many of the older shirts too but these are perfect shirts to dress up or down. I took a chance and ordered 5 and now I am ordering more (doubling up on come colors). If you are looking for something different from your old t shirts these are for you. I agree that I would like to see them offered in 3/4 and long sleeve.

This shirt is so soft and moves with you, I feel like I never want to take it off. I'm 5'9", 138 lb, and bought the small. The shirt skims my torso, is loose, but not too loose, is somehow shapely without giving away the store, and ends mid hip. The fit is feminine, slimming and the warm bright colors are flattering.

Dear LL, Please label this item as "Long Vneck Tee" and the old, shorter torso tee as "Short or Traditional Length." Problem solved-- if people just read it! Next, kindly make these with LONG SLEEVES and ELBOW SLEEVES! Dream-come-true! Also, I find that the lighter weight fabric in summer is a blessing indeed. Haven't noted any thread or stitching issues and have several LLBean vnecks, shall we say...too many to count! Meanwhile, if you have purchased the longer torso Vneck tee and feel it's too long, just wash and toss in dryer and your "problem" will be solved in 2-3 wash cycles. They do remain a bit longer than the 207246 --- but not tunic length! Please differentiate in catalogue and website between the two tee shirt styles (longer length item #501229; shorter length item #207246) (and get your customer service reps up to speed --they seem semi-mystified about lengths and item numbers in my experience) and it might stop the flow of returns and complaints! And PLEASE keep making these! At 5'3", short waisted and voluptuous-bordering-on-rotund, these vneck tees fit fine and even look good! They are perfect over knit or legging-type pants, capris or even a casual skirt, not just low waisted pants. Thanks very much for taking suggestions!

Oddly enough, I do not buy a misses size from LLBean. Usually much too long. The store did not have my usual petite small, so I tried on a regular small. Perfect! Great fit, not too long and I LOVE the fit! Not fitted and just skims my frame, very flattering. The material is fantastic and very comfortable. Since the reviews are very contradictory regrading the length, I suggest trying one on for yourself. And thank you so much for getting rid of that horrible boxy fit that looks good on no one!!!

I always buy the pima v neck tees, this style is an upgrade. The extra length is perfect, and I think more slimming. I still hang to dry after washing, but this length allows for any minimal shrinking. As always, I love the colors, especially the plums, pinks and teals. L.L. Bean has great color selection.

I ordered 3 of the solid colored shirts 2 of them in a v neck style in wild rose and azure the other was a crew neck in cobalt. Love the bright colors. Glad I ordered the regular size otherwise the length would have been too short on me and I am only 5"2.

Love the longer length and weight of the material, not too thin nor too thick. Several colors available. Keeps its shape after washing on delicate cycle and drying on low heat. Just ordered two more.

I love this V-neck T-shirt. Fabric is very soft, drapes well and the sleeves aren't tight. (Prior V-neck pima cotton T-shirt stitching was tight at the hem and didn't stretch.) Thanks LLBean! Washes nice, shrinks up a little which is what I was hoping for. Medium weight, good for summer; not too thin or too heavy. I will definitely buy more.

You seriously need to consider making this pima tee in the long sleeve style because it's great and you discontinued the previous V-neck long sleeve shirt. I hope we can see these in all colors in long sleeves in the fall. Thanks

Love the silky texture and appearance of this nicely proportioned T. I literally put it on the minute it arrived. Ordered in 3 different colors, all as lovely as they appeared on my computer screen. This T is slightly longer than last year's version which is an improvement to me. I am 5'3, 110#, petite XS fits great. Highly recommended!

I love this tee and it has been a staple for me. The older version had a shorter length that I liked, being 5'4", and I was excited to discover that the petite size XS has the same length as the old regular XS. So, if you miss the shorter length, try the petite in your regular size, as I compared the two and the only difference was the desired shorter length.

I'm 5'3", 36D, pear-shaped, and usually wear a Medium Regular or size 12. Bought 2016 pima cotton v-neck tee in Misses Medium in 2 colors (length ~22 inches, relaxed fit/boxy, heavenly soft Supima cotton). With the spring 2017 pima cotton v-neck tee, I decided to buy the Petite Medium in coral (length ~24 inches, slightly fitted, Supima cotton not as soft). Overall, I prefer the feel of the older version but like the fit and length of the newer tee. The coral color is a true coral (not orange, rust, burnt sienna, peach, or tan) and more beautiful than pictured.

I used to own several of these shirts, as I love the fabric and the v-neck is just right - flattering but not too revealing when I move around. But over time the fit became too boxy; with shrinkage (even with line drying), the size M often ended up wider than it was long, and the wide, short fit visually added at least 10 lbs to my middle. This new fit is much more flattering for my slightly apple shape, and the length is just right for me at 5'5". I'm hoping for a greater color selection in the future.

Thank you thank you! I'm at the small end of the petite scale (5'0" tall and slim) and there is finally a petite size that fits! I love LL Bean, but the majority of the petite line is still much too big (both tall and wide). These tees are wonderful! I've already bought three. A navy option would be great, too.

Great fit, with LLBean finally pulling its pima cotton toward current fashion. Slightly more fitted, definitely a little longer, and it's about time. These tees work well over skinny pants. My only complaint is I do wish, like all the other reviewers, that more colors were available.

This pima cotton tee is my go-to shirt for summer in Maine. Not too hot, not too flimsy or see-through. I have it in all colors, but wish there were more: light pink, periwinkle blue, pale yellow, sea-foam green. It's summer - lighten up! I love the new longer length.

LOVE THE NEW LONGER LENGTH....IT'S PERFECT AND SUITABLE FOR THOSE OF US WHO DON'T HAVE THE DESIRE TO SHOW OUR MIDDLE, AND, WHO PREFER TO COVER ANY "BULGE" WE MAY HAVE. AT 69, I LOVE THESE TOPS. THEY ARE COMFORTABLE, FIT WELL AND AREN'T HOT IN THE SUMMER. PERFECT FOR A GRANDMA TO WEAR TO DISNEY OR FOR A YOUNGER LADY TO WEAR UNDER A BEAUTIFULLY TAILORED JACKET. I WISH THERE WERE MORE COLORS. I AM AN OLDER LADY, SHAPED LIKE A WEEBLE AND AT 5'4" 165 LBS. I WEAR THE EXTRA LARGE COMFORTABLY.

I've tried other styles and fabrics over the years, but always come back to the pima cotton tees. They come through the wash looking like new. I just ordered two more for summer.

At 5'1" and 120 #s, Misses' small is the perfect Tee for me! Only wish they made it in more colors, such as wine, navy, or heathered grey.

So happy that you are offering these t-shirts with a little extra length. Let me tell you it sure goes a long way and I'm so pleased. I love your pima t's, but had to stop purchasing them because of too much shrinkage and started to shop elsewhere as a result. Please add more colors in plus sizes...there is a market out there and I'll be first in line =)
