Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Petite Quilted Sweatshirt 1/4 Zip Pullover Long Sleeve

I got this sweatshirt for Christmas and it's SO comfortable. It's the perfect weight for me for everyday wear, but only a week after getting it, it got snagged and tore 2 holes in the quilted area. The sleeves hold up just fine, but the quilted area has a very thin fabric layer which seems to tear easily. Normal knit fabrics can "heal" themselves after a minor snag, but the quilted fabric is just too weak and rips.

I bought this for my sister who is petite. I ordered a petite size but she said the length was much too long and she returned it. .

I got this as an Xmas gift. It was very soft and a nice color---but..... Sweatshirts should be loose, and cut for wearing over tee shirts. But this one was fitted closely thru the hips and stomach. Too bad, I might have bought another one.

Nice color and material, but too snug. Sweatshirts need to be loose & I'm afraid after washing it will be too tight.

I received one of these pullovers for Christmas in navy blue and loved it. It was roomy, warm and comfortable. Decided to buy one in the light blue color and found it tight and sloppy looking. It's a shame but quality control would include consistent sizing. I will be returning it.

I recently bought the dark teal sweatshirt. I am disappointed in the color of the shirt. The online picture shows a lively, bright color shirt. The actual shirt is a dull teal color, very muted. Previously I bought the yellow shirt, same style and am happy with it. Online colors are not always accurate.

I debated returning this top but it was a gift. It's pretty but too long in the torso for a petite. I have to roll the bottom band under to make it look good on me. Sleeves are long too. I ordered the smallest size available.

I have several of these shirts from previous years and this one is not the same. Has a boxier fit and slightly flared bottom which I do not like. Returned it.

Beautiful color, but the collar was sewn in oddly. I couldn't straighten it or lay it down.

I have two of these pullovers and both of the have worn out in the elbows. Normal wear and within several months.

I liked the style and weight of this item that I purchased several years ago so wanted to order a replacement. The current item has less cotton in it and it is noticeably not as warm. Also the cadet blue color is no longer an option and this green is too muted. I returned the item and hope next season's offerings return to original weight and a light blue color option.

I have this in maroon and it has been my favorite quarter zip pullover, so I decided to get another color. It looks just the same, the zipper is great, but the new one feels much lighter and thinner. On closer examination, the original was made in Sri Lanka and is mostly cotton, with some polyester, the new one is made in Peru and is made with much less cotton, & with a higher percentage of polyester. As someone who is trying to get away from using polyester, that is very disappointing. I really love my original pullover, I'm sorry LL Bean has made these changes.

The fit and quality of this pullover are fine. It's warm and cozy. However, I ordered the lavender color, and it is more gray than lavender. I am disappointed, but it's too much trouble to send back.

I bought this sweatshirt and enjoy wearing it but I put it on today and there were small holes in the front and a hole in the binding! Very sad I really enjoyed the sweatshirt! I just read another comment and that customer experienced the same problem!

I got this three months ago and have been wearing it a fair amount because I love this color, but I noticed that the fabric is already starting to pill a little in the underarms where it rubs. Disappointing to know that it just won't last as a "going out" shirt because of that.

Love the sweatshirt. I have 3 others and wear them all the time. The light purple color is not like the photo. It's a muddy purple color and I wish I sent it back.

Height 5' 1"- Weight: 108 Size: Petite-Small Pretty shade of blue..Snug in the chest..Okay on the bottom.. I have made several clothing purchases recently. LL quality has declined, while prices have not.

This sweatshirt is a welcome break from a hoodie. My main issue is with the hem. The design has the sweatshirt hanging straight down without the benefit of a cinched hem like a regular sweatshirt. This makes it hard to wear alone. The only other issue is the zipper which tends to have a rough zip. Despite these flaws, I do recommend this shirt!

I have purchased several of 5hese over the last few years. Always love the fit and warmth. However, the one I bought this year is thinner material and sleeves started pilling on first wearing. Never had this happen with the others. Disappointed.

Great line of sweatshirts, comfortable and well made. Bean's does an excellent job of photographing color. However this was really off. The muted rose is a lot more like this season's adobe clay without soft pink tones I returned it..

I thought this would be warmer because it was like a sweatshirt. It is not. It is a very nice product and fits well though. Maybe I'll wear it when it's warmer out.

Quality not the Same. I have been buying these quilted quarter zips since 2019 when they first came out. They held up remarkably well. Decided to buy two new colors and the quality is not the same. These are almost all poly with very little cotton. The material is thinner and they don't have the luxurious feeling of the older versions. Very disappointed that they decided to cut corners. These new versions are not bad but they are lighter weight and not anywhere close to as good as the originals.

Odd fit and stiff material. Otherwise cute the color is good.

I have always been happy with LLBean clothing purchases and was excited for this sweatshirt. The fit and style are great but after only 1 or 2 wearings, the underarms and sleeves are terribly pilled. I had planned to order another color but, sadly, won't now.

The sleeves were too tight. I ordered a size xl but the sleeves were a size medium. For some reason, clothing manufacturers feel every woman has skinny arms. It's frustrating and difficult to find something that fits. The color, material and workmanship was excellent.
