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

I gave it 4 stars because I haven't had a chance to actually wear my sweatshirt. It has just not been cold enough in South Texas. But it feels so soft, and appears to be very warm because it is pretty thick. The color is beautiful and I can't wait for it to get cold enough to enjoy it.

Since I have longer arms, I ordered the tall- think the regular would have been sufficient. I end up cuffing the sleeves and the bottom edge hits me below hip. The weight of the fabric is good & has held up well to washing & drying. I like the leather-like accents on the zipper pull & tag

Beautiful blue. Fits as expected. Can't wait for cooler weather to wear it!

The perfect fit, comfort and length. I wear it regularly.

I usually wear a petite small but wanted a looser fit so I bought a regular small. Inside of fashionably oversized it just looks too big. If anyone else wears petite I'd suggest just going up a size in petite rather than going for your size in regular. It's comfy and cute otherwise so I'm keeping it.

Bean size chart said Reg. L. Way too large. Tried Petite L and that was way too large. Returned for Reg. medium and the arm length and where it falls could be said to be large. I can't keep playing with sizes, (P Medium?) so I will keep the Reg. Medium. Nicely made and warm

I'm not sure why retailers think bigger means longer arms, but they do. They don't take into account shorter people who may be on the larger side. I will keep this sweatshirt because it's comfortable, but the sleeves are way too long. I can roll them up, and they will be fine, but it's frustrating because other items I have purchased here have all been very good.

So far so good, haven't actually worn it yet as temps are still mild in Michigan. Looking forward to adding the waffle tees for fall weather.

Have watched this product since last year and love the color and quilted detail. Would prefer a bit narrower cuff at sleeves and hem. Can't wait for cooler weather to put it to work!

It seems that LL Bean is hungry for business. Every time I turn on my computer there is an advertisement from LL Bean on some clothing item or shoes. Never have I seen this before with LL Bean. You people are really stupid to want us to provide a nick name. What! Crazy I have no nick name.

I ordered the purple hue and love the color. The sleeves and length are a little long for me-but I'm short. It will be nice to wear in the fall with a t-neck. Fabric is soft and warm. A great in-between season item!

Really nice looking dressy sweatshirt but it runs too large. The band at the bottom looks like it would fit someone wearing a size large, not a small. I can grab several inches of the lower band and it hangs loosely, does not hug the hips. I wish there was consistency with the sizing of LL Bean clothing. I own another top similar to this one (has a cowl neckline) and a small fits me perfectly. FYI: I am 5'7" and weigh 125.

I love this sweatshirt. It is not super warm but it is cozy. After reading other reviews I am nervous to wash it but it has gone through one wash/dry and come out okay. Please make this in petite hunter green!

As a small petite woman, I always have trouble finding clothes that fit, but this sweatshirt fits near-perfectly! The only way it could be improved is if there was a little more elastic at the bottom so it was more fitted at the hips.

I ordered this in the rose color and loved it. Unfortunately, the medium was too small and the large was too big. Had it fit, I would have purchased it.

After purchasing, I was told LLbean products run large. I wish I would have known this ahead of time! I am pretty much always a size medium and I needed to size down in all of the items I purchased. Good to know for next time because the quality is great!

The stitching on the shirt was very nice. The color was right too. The shirt collar allowed cold Minnesota weather in; that is my only criticism.

I love this sweatshirt. Fits slightly smaller than I was hoping but it is a great weight.

This sweatshirt runs small. I order petite XS for most everything. This time I had to exchange it for the size small which fits fine

This is very well-made. I had ordered a medium, but it had very long arms and a long torso, so I returned it for a petite medium, which fit very well. I would prefer a full zipper in the front, and would recommend that for future iterations of this great product.

This sweater is very nice for a cold day. It does fit snug, so you can't wear anything too bulky underneath. Its like a fancy sweatshirt :)

I ordered the shirt in a large petite as I wanted to wear a shirt underneath. Overall, the shirt is a bit large especially around the bottom hem. The sleeves are also a bit long and I had to fold the cuff back. I love the color and it is very warm. Probably should have ordered my usual medium.

Over the last 13 months I have purchased 7 of these sweatshirts in different colors. Most have all fit pretty much the same. The navy ran the smallest and the sleeves are kind of short. My most recent order included the pink, mint and gold. The pink is the best fitting by far as the sleeves are the longest I have received. I wouldn't say this runs large but I definitely have enough room to layer with a tank and denim shirt underneath. It falls past my waist, but doesn't cover my backside. If I flip the waist band under, it comes to my waist. If LL Bean would make the hooded and colorblock in plus, I'd probably buy those too.

I love this quilted sweatshirt and have multiple ones in different colors. It's cozy. It feels casual, but it looks a bit nicer than a standard sweatshirt. My only complaint is that I've had three sweatshirts that developed small holes in the quilted part on the front. Two of them developed the holes within a week of purchasing them (and I was able to easily exchange them). The third one developed a small hole after a year or so of use. I'm trying to figure out if something is "catching" on the quilted part to cause a snag, but I've not figured out anything so far. I'm pretty gentle with them and wash them in cold water without any other clothes that could snag (like velcro, bras, etc). I do love them, just wish the quilted part held up a little better!

Runs small, but otherwise like it a lot.
