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

I loved the color (sunlit coral) of this quilted sweatshirt but unfortunately it has a collar that is standup only. It doesn't lay flat which makes this seem unlike a sweatshirt and didn't work for me. The material and color were great but the style just didn't work for me.

I was looking forward to wearing this top on my trip to Wyoming in 12 days. The color is one of my favorites. I ordered an extra large hoping it would give me some room for an shirt underneath. Every part fit well, except for the wide elastic band around the bottom. It looks awful! It looks like it is completely stretched out and doesn't have any body to it. Needless to say, the zip up top I ordered that is a similar design to this one has the same problem. I am returning both garments because of this faulty section of a nice garment. This is very disappointing, especially right before my trip.

I love the quality of your clothes. Already have had compliments on the color. Exactly what I wanted!

Love the body and the way it fits. However, the sleeves are long and hang down to the middle of my hand. That would be okay if the cuffs had a tighter stretch to hold the sleeves at my wrists. I washed it hoping the cuffs would tighten, but they didn't. I like the sweatshirt a lot but it's as tho the wrong sleeves got sewn onto it.

I like my purchase but am disappointed by a few things. First, the color is much different than pictured. The anorak (gray lavender) is much darker than the item depicted online. It is pictured as a very pale pastel lavender but is several shades darker and has much more gray in it. It's fine and I will keep it but it isn't what I thought I had ordered. Secondly, this item runs large. I wear a small and have ordered items for many years. It seems that the sizing may have changed. The sleeves are long; I have turned up the cuffs and the hip area falls several inches away from my body. It is quite large through the lower part of the body. Maybe I can shrink it or I'll wear a shirt beneath. If you are thin, this may be an issue for you as well. Other than that, it's well made and the fabric is high quality.

Made well but too long in the length for a petite. Have to roll it under

I love this pullover, so much so that I own it in an absurd array of colors. I've bought it in 2022 (Cream, Rose Wash, Rust Orange, and Navy) and 2023 (Ocean Teal, Sunlit Coral, and Washed Coral). When the new colors came out, I was excited to add to my rainbow of colors, and having bought so many other colors, over two years, I anticipated the size and cut to be the same. Not so. I purchased the Lemon and found it noticeably more narrow in the shoulders and significantly more narrow in the arms. I won't be ordering any more because the risk of having to return is just too high.

The body length is great, the color is perfect but the sleeves are too short. The sleeves measure an inch shorter than a regular pullover of another brand I own.

I received this sweatshirt for Christmas last year. It is elegant, warm and I love the color. For some reason, the hem has stretched out and that has changed the fit. It looks a little baggy and I'm questioning the fabric quality.

I am 5'7 and 155 pounds. I ordered a medium and it fit perfect with a little room to grow. The fabric isn't very stretchy so I do feel a bit confined in this sweater. I love the look and gots lots of compliments; used more for looks than comfort. One negative is the tag on the sweater had a price that was $10 cheaper than what I paid for the item which frustrated me. It was listed for $79 and the tag displayed $69.

First issue of this product in the lilac color and quilting is very nice. Wash and dries nicely because its polyester. Not warm in damp, cold weather, like Chicago.

Having had 2 of these previously, it was disappointing to receive this made of thinner material, and at higher cost. Will keep it since it can still suffice. But like the poorer quality of jeans materialls and prices, this now has me leaning everywhere else away from buying from LLBean again.

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.
