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

This is a good basic t-shirt. I appreciate that it is NOT a cropped t-shirt. Still plenty long for cycling, gardening, anything you want to do without exposing your mid section.

Originally ordered large, but exchanged for reg. XL because I have a proportionately larger bust and do not like things form fitting. I am 5'-1" with 38gg bra size and otherwise rectangular shape. The length did shrink a little even washing on delicate, but actually makes the length just right hitting me at my hip. I cannot wear petite because I need extra length for my bust. I am about to order a couple more. I ordered the periwinkle blue color and don't like it. I will stick with black, unless they come up with a merlot, deep ocean, or a dark green. I don't go for bright or pastels, but sadly too many companies don't offer deep rich colors. The v is perfect and does not let my cleavage hang out. I wear these for work, and every day casual. Overall I love the quality and the fact that they are cotton, just wish more colors I like.

Soft , thin material but doesn't look like it will hold its shape . Wait and see I guess.

Soft, fits well, looking forward to wearing in the spring

very nice Tee. I like this model and have several colors.

Super comfy. The quality of the material is very nice as is the design. Very simple. I just wish it was a little longer. I'm only 5'1 and I like my shirts at least to the bottom of my hips, not the top of my hips. I had ordered an XS.

My favorite color the yellow and this style , however they started making this style longer in body length. Not sure why, but I love the material and it holds it shape wash after wash.

Favorite color blue in soft durable fabric. The V-neck is very flattering. I won't go back to scoop or jewel necklines.

These are my favorite tees and I take care to wash them in cold water with fabric softener and then air dry, but when I mistakely dried them on low they shrank - and unfortunately I had three several of them in the dryer. This is disappointing.

Fit was okay but I think it ran a a bit small, also the first time I got a spot on the front, pretreated it but it didn't come out, pretreated and washed a few more times and most of the spot came out but I can still see where it was. Usually do not have this problem with tee shirts.

I've had several of these shirts. The crisp colors last a long time without major fading and the fabric is a good weight and doesn't cling. I usually get a size larger, as they tend to shrink in length by an inch or two over many washings if you put them in the dryer.

The cotton of this shirt is luxuriously smooth, extremely high quality. It also has a bit of natural stretch, even though it has no spandex. My only complaint is that it fits narrower than previous, all cotton LL Bean "slightly fitted" tops. I've noticed this with the most recent batch of medium petite tops. Tops of the same size bought in previous years do not fit so snugly. Colors are beautiful. If I had one suggestion for LLBean, it would be to lower the Vneckline. Right now, the cut is rather matronly and unflattering. It turns the upper torso into one unattractive block. A lower Vneckline would open up the chest area and create a more flattering appearance. I know LLBean offers other tops with lower necklines, but most inevitably are not 100% cotton or linen. The artificial fiber (e.g. polyester, modal) the include feels oppressively hot where I live. Or LLBean offers a more open neckline (scoop, jewel, square) but pairs it with elbow length sleeves, the epitome of matronly and visual upper chest blockiness. People in hot areas, and I would imagine, women experiencing hot flashes, need clothing that breathes and is 100% natural fiber. Please offer clothes that addres these real life situations.

I like the fit. The material is not as heavy as a regular polo shirt. Women's shirt lengths are usually too short for my taste but this one is a bit longer, feels better, not riding up.

Tried this and realized I don't like cotton with no stretch. But it is very well made, so if you like 100% cotton, then this will work very well.

Great quality material - fit is good EXCEPT too long - will have to shorten by at least 3 inches.

Comfortable, well made, wear well, wash well, nice colors, doesn't fade. Have always liked llbean tees Quality and durable

I have a lot of these shirts and wear them almost every summer day. They are stylish and comfortable. I just wish they didn't wear out so fast.

I love the softness of this tshirt and the color but it is short which I was not expecting

Easy care nice texture and goes well with jeans or skirt. I would prefer it shorter in length. I bought a small regular.

Nice and fits as expected. Would be five stars but fabric a little thin, although not see through.

The raven blue Pima cotton just arrived , no label attached, thrown in the green LLBean bag , loose, not wrapped in a plastic bag. It is also very thin, not the usual Pima tee , though it says Pima tee. What is going on, very disappointed with packaging. If I did not need this color immediately for an outing, I would bring it back to the store. I will wash it and hope to get the untimely wrinkles out! Very, very disappointed , looks likes someone wore it before me.

I loved everything about this tee but the length...it as just too long for me. The fabric and design were very much to my liking. Unfortunately, I find most LL Bean tee's too long and hence, quite unattractive.

This is the second of these exact shirts in the exact same size I have purchased. I loved the first one so much, I bought another color. This one, however, was smaller on me than the first one I bought. It is going back, sadly.

I returned the xs v- neck as the xs crew neck fit me better. V- neck was longer and looser. Material of both is high quality pima cotton.

Bought several of these Pima cotton tees. Very substantial, good quality material, but definitely size up. There is some shrinkage even when washed per directions. Others commented on this, which is why I did. I ordered petite small and after washing it fit perfectly. Four stars due to shrinkage factor.
