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

I love the style and the material. However, the sizing is not right for me. I am always a "S Petite" for LLBean, but this time, the shoulder part is so tight.

I really liked this sweatshirt when I received it. It's comfortable and fit well. Unfortunately the material has started wearing out it in multiple spots. For the price and the ll bean brand, I really expected this to last longer.

The body is very long & not much give to the pretty quilting.

Cute, esp in the pink. So sad to return it because the "slightly fitted" design is just not comfortable enough. I prefer a sweatshirt that's loose and cozy. I'm not buying LLB's "slightly fitted" clothes anymore, wish they'd go back to "relaxed fit" because fitted clothes can be bought anywhere. Seems cut not generous enough.

After waiting MONTHS to get this item due to "COVID" issues, I received this item and was very disappointed. The sweatshirt material was not soft, the arms were weirdly short although the rest of the sweatshirt fit. I have another LLBean item and the sleeve length is not an issue, nor is it usually for me so I am not sure why this one was. Also smelled weird when I got it like someone else's perfume. Sent it back and I think I am finished with LLBean.

I was super excited to see that LL Bean carried so many things in petite sizes and ordered several items in XS Petite. Except. Well. They were all huge. I'm small, but not tiny - 5'2" 130 lbs. I was so disappointed that these items were all excessively baggy and the sleeves came past my hands. I ended up keeping this sweater, though more for around the house as it looks kind of silly on me. All other items were returned. Otherwise the quality of the sweater is nice - probably above average. I guess LL Bean just doesn't make clothes for my body type.

The materials used for both the main garment and especially the cuffs and bottom banding felt stiff, cheap and were uncomfortable to wear. It makes me wary of buying another LLBean garment.

It may be because I am not tall, but the placement of the front pockets combined with the top bunching up made it quite unflattering.

I ordered a size small based off of the sizing chart, but I think an XS tall would have been a much better fit. I knew it wasn't going to be fitted, but it is way too big around and just a little too short. I am only 5'7" so I shouldn't need a tall, but I think that would have been a better fit.

This was my second pullover purchased. The fabric was not as soft as the first one and the overall fit was tighter. It shrunk 1 inch overall after one washing. I am disappointed in the quality. It is not up to the standards I expect from L.L. Bean.

This pull over shirt is not the LL Bean quality I've known in the past. I washed the shirt alone before I wore it and it came out with lint balls all along the ends of the sleeve cuffs. I expected better quality for the amount of money I paid for this product.

The fabric on this sweatshirt was very very stiff even after it was washed several times. The cuffs and bottom ribbing were especially stiff and wavy. Would not recommend just not comfortable

Bought this in xl, this fit is NOT TRUE to size... way to small.

I bought the green color and I loved the look of it so much that I got the charcoal. I only wore the green one a few times before weird color blotching and fading. I looked through the reviews and I saw that it happened to another costumer who also didn't use bleach in their washer. So far, I've had no issues with the charcoal color. I'm so disappointed this happened.

Clearly it is the way this is built that it is too snug. I bought this because i loved the funnel-neck style but couldn't get it in green (sold out). This shirt is one that I would hope to be able to wear a tee under but there was no way. Everything about it felt snug - the cuffs (I have small wrists), the wide band on the bottom and even across the chest - it fit nothing like the funnel-neck style and I had to return it, regretfully.

Love the style and color but the front pockets on this were so stiff they didn't move which made the fit awkward. I returned it.

I had purchased the wine color last year after trying it on in-store and falling in love. After 1 washing, the sweater faded so terribly that you would think it was 10 years old. It also developed a hole in the collar area next to the zipper. Still, it was such a comfortable sweater that I purchased the green thinking that it might have been limited to that particular color. Wrong! Yet another waste of money. The green faded within 2 washings. Mind you, I always wash my sweaters in cold water and hang to dry. There is ZERO excuse for fading and holes other than just poor quality and craftsmanship. I wear these around the house and on the farm because I'm too embarrassed to look like a slob in public. It's really becoming a pick-and-choose issue on what you can purchase from L.L. Bean anymore. Extremely disappointed.

Left side of bottom border protrudes, unlike right side. I purchased two of these at different times, thinking the first time was just a fluke, but looked at several different sizes the second time and chose one that seemed to be okay. Did not try either of them on before purchase. This flaw is not obvious on the shelf and I no longer have my receipts. I won't wear this garment in public (the fit is not good either). Very annoying.

I have been a big fan of LL Bean for years. Sizes were consistent and shopping on line was easy and fun. But over the past many months sizing has become a major problem - it is totally inconsistent and unreliable. So this time I drove two hours to an LL Bean store. I tried on the top and was delighted with the fit. However I wanted a different color and the store did not have my size. I ordered on line. When the top arrived it did not fit. I am at a loss as to what to do. Stores are generally small and are definitively inconvenient. Ordering on line does not seem to work any more. By the way, LL Bean clothes that I have had for years still fit perfectly.

I ordered this on Black Friday, and due to it being backordered, I did not receive it until mid-February. The color is a yucky yellow shade of cream and was very baggy. This is definitely not true to size if you want a nice, fitted zip up. So disappointed! Back to LLBean it goes!

I have three colors of the full-zip version of this shirt and love them so thought I would try the quarter zip. This shirt runs a full size smaller than the full-zip. The cut is very straight and tight in the chest. I thought about ordering the next size up but I'm afraid that won't solve the problem. Sorry to have to return.

Originally got an Olive one back at Christmas time. Had to return it because after rinsing it in cold water with no laundry detergent, the sweatshirt became discolored in spots. This was a replacement. I was so excited to get it. I only wore it once. Rinsed it out again and it did the same thing. Discolored in several spots. Makes me believe that it is a product issue and not something I did. I really like the sweatshirt, but not sure if I want to return it and have this happen again. May just keep it to wear it around the house and to run quick errands in.

I am SO disappointed. The fig color has been sold out and was finally available the other day. I snagged one and when it arrived the color was even nicer than pictured. More deep and darker. I love these quilted pullovers and have two others. I worn it once and washed it on delicate cycle like the instructions recommend and when it came out there was a giant rip across the quilted fabric on the front. I can't even exchange it because it's sold out in the fig color once again. I had read another review of the fabric snagging and ripping easily. I'm hoping this doesn't happen to my other two since I still overall love this pullover but I'm very disappointed in the quality to have been damaged so easily upon first wash.

I wanted to love this pullover, bit the fit was odd. It looked pretty good from the front, but was very poofy and loose in the back. Unfortunately, I sent it back. I don't think sizing up or down would have helped this problem.

A friend of mine has 3+ of these awesome pullovers and I expected that mine would be the same heavier weight and texture. I purchased the french blue - and mine is much thinner and lighter than hers - not sure if specific colors were manufactured differently. It's lovely if you're looking for a lightweight pullover, but its a quilted sweatshirt, I wanted a heavier layer. Disappointed and returning.
