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

Not happy with this! It definitely needs to be longer

Great Quality tee shirt and a good fit. Color too bright. I got the blue but it was still brighter colors than in the past. I like more muted tones.

too laarge and i plan to return it with the one i am waiting for which i will also return for a medium; also did not care for the color on me, so i will only want the green one if it ever comes..and could you start doing something with the too long neglected color brown....

Size too small i have other design i can wear minimum

I wore this ONE time, washed it in cold and line dried it. There were a dozen small holes in the shirt at the waistline. The shirt was loose fitting, and I wore this with pull-on pants (no belt, no button or zipper). The only friction at my waist was from leaning on a kitchen counter while cooking. Unacceptable! It's going back and I'm asking that my shipping costs be refunded. DON'T BUY THIS. Why can't retailers like LLBean offer better quality cotton shirts?

Purchased V neck shirts in past years. However, when I received my current purchase I found the sizing changed. Shirts are now too narrow and too long. Called customer service to consider switching to a "petite small". Width would be equivalent to prior sizing but even longer. Sadly I will return the shirts.

I am not happy with the fabric. It comes out of the dryer wrinkled and ironing doesn't resolve the issue. Unlike the many others I have purchased, which come out of the dryer beautifully! The fabric on another recent purchase I made...the 3/4 length white tee is the same way. I don't wear either one because they look like I slept in them.

Beware: This style has been changed and is now a couple of inches longer than it used to be, making it snug around the hips. The crew neck version is still the same length as previously.

I have so many of these shirts in size large. They still fit well. However the last two that I ordered in the last few months I have returned, a large and an extra large. Both were too long and too tight. My older size large still fit great so it isn't my body that has changed. I don't know what your manufacturer did but they have ruined my favorite shirt.I won't be ordering these again. So disappointing!

I must have 50 LL Bean tees. I love them, long sleeve, short sleeve, v necks, crew neck. They are excellent quality. This one doesn't compare. The material is thin and feels "cheap". It is also very long. I realize it's a plus size but as I said, I have many others, same size. Going to return it.

Very thin fabric compared to the 3/4 sleeve tops. The v-neck is also a much deeper cut compared to previous iterations. But is was really just too long in the torso and looked quite unflattering. For reference I am 5'6" 130#, 34C. The size Medium was a bit too big for me. Back it went.

A few years ago, I ordered a v-neck pima cotton shirt in the same size as the new ones I recently ordered. I absolutely love that old v-neck shirt! It is very high quality, comfortable, not too tight, not too loose--in short, it is absolutely the most perfect t-shirt I've ever worn! I love it and decided to order several more just like it. And so I recently did--or so I thought! I thought i was going to receive the same high-quality shirt I had received in the past. But I was absolutely shocked to see what I actually received this time around! The shirts I received this time were thin, clingy, tight, and EXTREMELY poor quality. I'm so disappointed in L.L. Bean. That name used to stand for high quality and dependability! I guess that is no longer the case. Thank heavens for the good refund policy--I'll be returning the shirts ASAP for a refund. And I doubt very much if I will ever order anything from LL Bean again. You have really let me down.

I ordered a dozen of these v neck tops and over the course of a couple of months they have shank about 1/2" each time in the wash so far. They are now 3" shorter than when they started out and this has been true for everything I have ordered so far from llbean even the trail paints.

I have worn this LL Bean v neck for years but unfortunately did not notice that the design had changed and the shirt was much MUCH longer. This shirt tightly hugs my low hips and is very unflattering. I never would have purchased a tee shirt this long. It is not loose enough to be a tunic and merely draws the eye and highlights my figure flaws. NOT FOR MATURE BODIES!! . ( I'm a senior and not overweight but the body shape changes nevertheless.) I need some tees and will pay to have these cut off and hemmed but finished ordering tees from LL Bean. They do not serve older women.

I only ordered because this is the only v- neck, short sleeve. Returning. Very disappointed. Cheap material. Horrible shaping & extremely long. Not the LLBean quality I expect. Bring back the Bean's tees v-neck in short sleeves!

I am very sad to say the quality in these tees are disappointing. I love the style of the tee but after a 1 month time of wearing the shirt it developed small pinholes in the fabric. I sent back the first order of shirts because all of them were defected and reordered them again. Well, the same think happened to the second set. Sent them all back and will not reorder again. What happen to the thicker fabric that LL bean once carried?

I am so disappointed! The staple of my wardrobe for many years has undergone a major change. The quality has gone way down. This tee feels so much thinner than the tee I've been buying for many years. Is the trend now toward disposable clothing? This is not what I'm used to getting from LLBean! I recently had the same problem with some sheets I also bought from LLBean. What's going on?

Loved the shirt but I returned it. I am tired of having all the tees too long! I wish we could have a choice on length. I am tired of having to hem everything. The polos are perfect length how about having some of the tees fit like the polos!

So sorry I bought and kept two but I needed them at the time. Just a poor fit for me; like wearing a sack.

I love the pima cotton material. It is so soft and comfortable but these shirts shrink a good two inches after washing. I am 5'5" and I can't imagine how a gal any taller than I could wear this at the current length. Maybe try using preshrunk material, LLBean?

I loved and wore your pima cotton V-neck t-shirts for over 15 years. They were great. This new version is not. The fabric is thinner and flimsy, wrinkles easily, and is very long. The previous style V-neck was nice enough to wear with dressy slacks or a skirt. This is like an ordinary t-shirt you'd use to go to the pool or maybe do housework. I kept it and wear it to bed. Not sure if I would be caught in public wearing this poorly styled shirt. BRING BACK THE OLD STYLE PLEASE! And in long sleeves as well as short sleeves.

As with other reviewers, found this item WAYYYY too long. I have ordered several of these in the past in both short and 3/4 sleeve versions and love them. The fabric is far superior to most tees, but this longer length makes it unwearable (for me, at least). Tried it on just to see how much too long and had to return it. If this style ever comes back in original length, will definitely stock up.

I loved the old style v-necks: 254790 and 207246. these were a good length, neither too short nor too long for an average torso woman. But this new style is much too long -- maybe 4-5 inches longer than those styles. Do not purchase unless you have a long torso.

Unfortunately, the small petite has a way too long torso for a petite person. I am 5'2 and the small came down to the top of my legs. Maybe mismarked size? Love the crew neck sm petite! Length is perfect!

Have many of these tees and just love them. Thought I would get a few more since they were on sale. I should have listened to the previous reviews. These tees are too long for a 5'2", 115 lb woman. Sorry for the change in length, the regular length was wonderful. Length was below waist line, mid way at hips, could leave out or tuck. I could pair these with dress slacks, jacket for a stylish night out or with jeans. The new length is just too long to do either, it came down to my crotch !!!! too long to leave out and too much to tuck into any thing. Please give us "short" women a choice between the "old regular" length or the longer one. Had to return all tees I had ordered and now wonder where I can purchase a pima tee as good as yours. So disappointed !!!!
