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

The Quarter-Zip Pullover provides a very slimming, flattering look. I usually wear a Small (6-8), but I returned it and purchased a Medium, instead. The Small size fit everywhere, except it was a little snug in the arm/shoulder area (while wearing a thin turtleneck underneath). The Medium size was a little large around my hips, but fine everywhere else. Fortunately, I was able to sew a seam on each side, and it fits much better now. I love the dark gray heather color.

The fit is good, except this: The sleeves are rather more tight than Bean's usual, ample fit, or perhaps since they do not contain lycra, I'm used to the little bit of stretch. The body is warm, but the sleeves are less warm--polyester/cotton. Also, the hem band is sturdy and wide. For my petite size, there was a lot of band. I restructured my hem and band from 3-inches to about 2-inches. Finally, I thought the color would have been more red than it is in this garment from the picture online. In my opinion, the actual color is more burgundy-red. I like it!

Great fabric and style Always wish that most LLBean products had about 2 inches more on length and a little more in sleeve length Will wear around house and errands

Love the quality but my arms are a little large, and the shirt felt a little snug, I would suggest a bigger size.

I had hoped it would feel a bit softer~~more like a cozy sweatshirt in this style. I'd prefer a shade lighter so it looks clearly green. HOWEVER, the quilting, fit, raised collar & pockets are just what I wanted. Very flattering fit.

I'm tall and thin, but with broad shoulders, so it's really hard to find shirts that have enough room without being WAY too big overall. This is perfect in a size Tall/Small, and soooo warm and comfy, with a nice long neck. Would definitely recommend.

I wear a small in most LL Bean products. I purchased the Airlight quarter zip in a medium and it fit exactly as I expected, large enough to layer with plenty of room. So I purchased this quilted quarter zip in a medium. It is NOT large enough to layer and fits just like all my small tops. Thankfully it fits well, now just hoping it doesn't shrink after I wash.

Thank you LL Bean for offering tall sizes. Please offer more shirts/sweaters/fleece in TALL sizing and colors. This 1/4 zip pullover is great. Two compliments on my first day of wear. Sleeves are long enough, body is not boxy. Body is long enough. Arm holes are cut well (not tight). My only CON: I'm wearing it for the first time and I notice a tiny hole in the chest. I'll contact LLBEAN customer support to see if I can get an exchange.

Great product. Fits a little small for my liking. But probably true to size

I usually order a Large in tops, especially one like this one that says slightly fitted as I like a looser fit. This was way too big for me, and quite a bit longer (27") from shoulder to hem. Besides just looking too big, it looked and fit more like a tunic than sweatshirt. I could wear leggings with it, but that is not what I bought it for, to wear with jeans. Not sure if I will get a medium, because I think it may end up being longer than I want a sweatshirt to be. It is a quality product, and really nice hand on the fabric.

I really do love this sweatshirt. It is casual enough to wear around the house but also has some structure to it so it can be worn while out and about and still look polished. I like the fit but I do find that the sleeves are somewhat short. I'm tall (5'9) and don't have very long arms but I do think if they were just an inch longer it would be more comfortable. I find that I pull them up for a more comfortable fit when walking around. I bought the burgundy color and I love it. I would like to purchase another one in Navy but I may order a Large to see the difference.

I tried this on in the store and loved it so I ordered 2 different colors in petite. The charcoal fit perfectly and I felt that it was proportioned correctly. The red one (same exact size) was 1.5-2" shorter in torso length which, for me, threw the proportion way off. This may have been the result of different folks/suppliers making their items so they were probably made in 2 different places or maybe different lots/different runs but this red one (my favorite color) was a no go for me... I will need to return it and maybe take a chance on another one.

A bit long for me, I wish I had gone petite small or XS. Also material is a bit thinner than it appeared, but still a great fleece!

Very nice quality but runs small. Had to return

Quality of fabric and style is great. Loved that this pullover came in tall sizes. Wish it was a couple of inches longer. I'm long waisted and many women's tops are short for me.

its warm soft, and fits just right.

Let me start by saying I love this shirt, however I work with young children and all the moving, lifting, up and down that my job requires the shirt is somewhat too short. When I lift my arms up all the way my shirt rides up a little too high to where you see above the waist band and for most people that is not a flattering look. I typically wear a tall however this shirt was not offered in a 3XL tall which is what I really need.

Fell in love with this sweatshirt the moment I saw it. Ordered the deep wine colored in Petite Large...it JUST fit me so I knew I'd have to go up a size to allow for shrinkage. Unfortunately that color in petite is sold out. :( Its a great looking sweatshirt, more stylish than a run of the mill sweatshirt. SO...if you're absolutely sure of your size, get this one. Just keep on mind shrinking with cotton is going to happen!

The quilting on this sweatshirt make it unique. It could use a wider color range. Also a less restrictive bottom. Quarter zip is nice.

Very cute and has so far proven to be very warm. They dark grey is a nice color and is true to the pictures on the website. The only problem is that it runs slightly large, and the fabric is very thick and a little stiff, but I'm hoping that once I wash/dry it won't be a problem.

I'd been eyeing this sweatshirt for months and finally pulled the trigger... love everything about it except it shrunk when I washed it! It was even a little big before I washed it so I didn't think it would be an issue... Very disappointed, since I figured "higher quality" clothing wouldn't have this problem. Should've ordered a large...

The sweat outfit will be perfect if we are indoors again for Covid-19

I now have 3 of these! They are great for layering, wash well and are a nice alternative to a traditional sweatshirt. I have heather gray and cobalt blue purchased several years ago and decided to get the mint green for the spring. The color caught my eye. I love quarter zip styles. Very comfy too. Excellent quality.

I absolutely love this sweater! I've had it for over a year and it still looks great! I purchased the gray in a small and it fits good. I have long arms and a long torso and it fits just right in both places. I lay flat to dry. I do wish they were a lower price but still are worth paying the price for the quality. Wish they came in black and red.

The only problem was that even with a Petite medium, this top was too long. I had to hem it up a couple of inches. It fit fine otherwise, as I wanted room to wear a polo shirt under it.
