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

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.

This top fits okay in the sleeves and width. The v-neck is a bit too wide. The worst of it though is that it hangs to my mid-thighs!!!!!! I have shrunk to 5' tall from 5'3" but the length of this top is ridiculous! Maybe fits a person who is 5'6" so comes to actual hips.

I've bought this size t-shirt before and this one in the same size was significantly larger. Bought an XS in Petite and it was more than 6" longer the same sized item I already had. Returned it.

With rare exception I have worn LL Bean all cotton knit tops in medium for years... and years. And I don't buy petite because they have some shrinking. But these V neck tees with short sleeves were 4 inches longer than the LL Bean Tees that I have and am happily wearing. The shoulders are wider apart and the fabric is thin, flimsy. I could not believe it. Even washing one and drying it... wash on cold, dry on low, did nothing for the Tee shirt. So I returned it this morning.

I've been ordering these tops for years. These Pima cotton tops are comfortable and fit nicely. This time the M size was too tight in the bust. I've even lost some weight and the M was too small. Also the material seems thicker than before. I'm sad to see the original design change.

The material and stitching held its shape too much. Every time I lifted my arm, the seam at the top of the shoulder would slide up and create this really odd-looking peak poking out of my shoulder, as if it were attached by string from the ceiling. Not flattering at all. Had to return it.

LL Bean these "supima cotton" shirts feel and look like polyester knit and they don't breathe...if I see the words "supima cotton," I will not buy the item going forward. Really awful feeling t-shirts.

I am used to receiving these shirts wrapped in plastic, sticker label on front of shirt alone with a price tag. This shirt had a price tag and was wrinkled, seemingly thrown into a plastic bag separate from the rest of the order. I am not happy.

I wanted to order one of these shirts today with my 15% off but your web site wasn't showing any pictures no matter what I tried to view & couldn't reach anyone to explain why this was happening.

Sleeve seams are narrow and pull out instantly, quicker than a basting stitch. Had to stop the unravelling of two seams and hand sew half a sleeve double seams back. Turquoise Women's Pima Cotton V-Neck, Short-Sleeve Plus
