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

Very nice shirt but I have a short neck and need to fold the collar over. There is an extra piece of material that makes the fold distorted. It will not lay flat. Must return the shirt.

Love the fit and look of this pullover. Plan to order more.

I loved the color, the quality and it fit but the pullover made me look 25 pounds heavier than I am.

Nice quality - too tight for me and too short. I wish LLBean would do tall sizes

I bough this a little over a year ago and have used it regularly but also carefully because I bought it in the cream color and kept it for nice occasions. Unfortunately, the quilted fabric on the front recently seems to have started falling apart by itself. I don't recall snagging it on anything. I'm really disappointed by the quality because I expect something like this to last years. I had a very nice conversation with support letting me know I could return it for an exchange, but I am a person who tries not to be wasteful and sending a sweatshirt back to be destroyed feels wasteful. While I'd love a new sweatshirt, shipping something back to be destroyed seems wasteful. I'm attempting to fix this with visible mending, as invisible mending would be impossible given the pattern and color, but I wanted to leave a review for others if they have concerns about quality. Unfortunately, this is a piece that doesn't last.

I love this material, I love the pocket, and quarter zip, but the sleeves are very short on me, and the length of the sweatshirt is short. It felt like a crop top. I did size up, but it made it too big and boxy, and didn't add the length I was looking for.

I like my sweatshirt but I found that it shrinks in the dryer.

This top has shorter sleeves than most I have purchased. Also the bottom rim is not fitting at all, but loose.

Don't like material. Feels like too much flame retardant. Also if you have bat wings like me, the upper arms are too tight. I'm 77. Color is beautiful.

This jacket is not fitted enough for me. Feels like i'm wearing a sack. I altered it by taking in the side seams near the waistline. It is also warmer than I expec ted. The description sounded like a medium weight sweatshirt. I will be wearing it as a warm jackket. It will not be as useful to me as i anticipated.

I really wanted to like this quilted sweatshirt. However, the sleeves are very tight (and I have thin arms on a petite frame). I tried it on 2x just to be sure. Obviously, you cannot even wear a shirt under it. But I don't like to fight with my clothing. So, I returned it.

M too snug. L too baggy. Collar too high and does not lay down easily. Otherwise beautifully made. Just not for me.

Great fit and v soft fabric, but I can't understand why they used plain fleece for the inside of the arms rather than make the entire sweater from the fabric seen on the outside; I imagine it was cheaper to do it this way.. It makes it hard to get the sweater on/off particularly when wearing a shirt with a non-slick fabric like flannel; it basically gets stuck to the fleece.. pulling the sweater off, especially being fitted, is a bear. Disappointing, as it's a great sweater otherwise.

Fit well, more of a muddy peach than a pink, so sent it back

Cute but long really nice but longer than what I like. Color was beautiful and really made well

I am super disappointed in what I received as far as quality compared to years past. I had an older version of this item in a different color that unfortunately had started to fade. I exchanged it for a lighter color and the new one is much thinner material. It is advertised as a sweatshirt, however in order to keep warm, I would need to layer under the new one. When I reached out to customer service, they informed me that their vendors have changed and they don't even make the items themselves, they are outsourced like everything else these days, I guess. Just disappointing and unfortunate and because they required me to return the original, they informed me after the fact that I cannot even get that one back if I wanted. Not worth the high price tag.

The top of the opening stands up too high for me - when zipper is open. I usually zip it completely closed, but only when out in cold weather. Indoor I usually like to have it partially unzipped.

I received another one of these as a gift last month after saying how much I liked the one I bought myself a couple years ago. It fits well and is flattering. The fabric is soft, but seems much thinner/cheaper than my older one and makes me wonder how well it will hold up. The website says this is 80/20 cotton/poly, but the tag on the new sweater says 76/24 cotton/poly body and 51/49 cotton/poly for the sleeves. All in all, it's a nice sweater, but the fabric quality change is very disappointing, especially since it doesn't match the description.

I really like this but you have to win the lottery to get one that isn't wonky. I have ordered several but only ended up keeping one the others were seen wonky. One had an extra wide bottom band, another had a crooked zipper, and another had an uneven hem. Ugh! Get it together Ll bean! I would pay this high price if I could get one that was sewn properly

The material is quite stiff and does not look like it will last long with regular laundering. It also had somewhat of a narrower fit. I purchased my regular LL Bean shirt size (XS) which usually is on the looser side. With this sweater, it was quite well fitting to begin with. So, there might be less room if one desires to have an additional layer underneath.

I really like this quarter zip, it's super cozy and classy looking, but after only one wash, it has two small tears in the fabric. I was going to buy a second in a different color, but I won't after seeing how delicate the fabric on this is. Too bad because it took me a while to decide to buy the first and I was really excited about it.

It's very nice. Good thickness of fabric. Kind of long. I did not like the wide band of trim at the bottom. It's loose n this hangs like a tunic with that wide band. I would have preferred a straight hem.

Liked fabric, color and style except that it was too straight for "slightly fitted" for me.

Nice looking sweatshirt for casual wear. However pills already and runs large.

Nice enough, and fairly comfortable, but overpriced. I can't recommend this item.
