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

Loved the fit. Until I washed it. Now the sleeves are too short. Followed washing instructions, cold water and low dry. Still shrank up considerably. I'll keep it though because it fits like most things fit me now so I guess I'm used to it.

The sweatshirt is well-made and cozy, but I was super, super disappointed that it shrunk SO MUCH. I bought according to the size chart, and washed per instructions. However, at 5'1, the petite is almost too short to wear now! Really bummed. Wish LL Bean would be clear about fabrics and shrinking.

Love the style and fit of the other one I purchased. Saw the mountain red online, looked bright red, ordered and it is burgundy. Love the style but very disappointed in color. Returned for refund.

I saw this sweatshirt advertised on Instagram for months and finally decided to buy it. I normally don't buy LL Bean clothing for myself or my husband because I think the sizing is too big/not slim enough, but the sweatshirt looks so cute on the model. She must be wearing a tailored XS because this is absolutely not how it looks in real life. The quilting looks cheap in person, not thick and more luxurious like it does in the photo. I bought it in cream, so maybe the lighter color accentuates the lack in quality, but I just wouldn't go by the photos. I'm planning on keeping the sweatshirt because it's a pain to return things these days, but it just didn't meet my expectations. If you're on the fence about this sweatshirt, I would not recommend it.

I bought the light grey heather version of this sweatshirt last year, and I ABSOLUTLEY loved it. I wore it 2x a week. Its cozy and comfortable, but still dressy enough for my office setting. But not quite one season into owning it and it has started ripping along the quilted stitching and along the pocket. It's now too shabby for me to wear - so I will be discarding it. I work in an office, and in no way am I hard on my clothing. I followed washing and drying procedures from the instructions. I am somewhat disappointed. That being said, I did truly love this shirt; I am planning on reinvesting in this sweat shirt in another color, and I am hopeful that the color I choose will be more durable. (although the Olive Green color doesn't seem to be reviewing well, either)

I am very disappointed in the quilted sweatshirt's fit; It runs very large. When placing my order, over the phone, the advice I received regarding the fit guided me to select a large...but the information was not accurate. I should have ordered a medium. Even the catalog describes the sweatshirt as "slightly fitted;" not true. If it were not for the current CDC guidelines, I would have returned the order: 010275856289...but a trip to the post office is not wise, at this time. I would very much appreciate this item in a medium; I have no use for it, in a large.

I purchased the regular xs, and the length is short even before washing it. After washing it (per instructions) it's even shorter. I had purchased both Xs and small online but the small was way too baggy to keep. At a hair under 5'4", I can't imagine how short this would be on someone of average height. The length does not match the image on the model. It's really cute but doesn't hit your actual hip measurements.

I find that most of LL Beans clothes say slightly fitted that is why I ordered a 1x. II normally wear a large or extra large I wanted it to be roomy. I was very disappointed. Although I can wear it I don't like that is so snug in the butt. It rides up and so am constantly pulling it down.

I was impressed with the heavier weight of the fabric (compared to wimpy french terry "sweats"). And the "quilted" pattern gives it a special "pop". HOWEVER, I was not happy with the dull, dead-looking green color! It's winter and I want something more cheerful -- like a brighter kiwi green or avocado or blueish-green or ivy green or sap green or. . . . . So sadly I returned it.

I bought it just over a year ago and did not put it in the dryer when I first washed it. I have enjoyed wearing it warm, fluffy, and nice-lookingbut just had to wash it, threw it in the dryer without thinking, and now it's uncomfortably tight.

Sad to say that I have to "good will" this sweatshirt after about a year of wear. It just did not hold up well over time. The quilted fabric is easily pierced and (even in a lingerie bag and hanging to dry) has tons of little holes all over the front. Stitching is coming undone at shoulders. Sweatshirt looks "rugged" but even when handled with care is not durable.

Soft, attractive fabric. Ribbed cuffs are very large and do not follow with the smaller fit of the sleeve around the arm. 3x should allow for me to wear a t-shirt underneath but does not do so comfortably. This is not a good fit for me.

This is an okay sweatshirt. I purchased in blue, its already a faded color, and proving to fade further in the wash. I got in on sale for $70, and even that price seems steep for the quality. I never have left an average review on LL Bean, but unfortunately this product has earned it.

The quilted fabric and the knit fabric need to be the same weight fabrics, in my opinion.The pullover just didn't hang right or something! The length of the pullover, sleeves and other parts were a good fit. The two fabrics not to my liking.

I am a true 18 in shirts and tops.. the XL is listed as an 18/20. I found that it ran tight across the shoulders and it was very fitted. I am returning both tops because of how small they ran. The only reason I gave it a 3 is because the material was a very nice quality..

I have the gray one and love it. I love it so much I purchased the green and the quality seems very poor compared to my gray one. After 1 wash it is very faded and looks like it's worn out and time to retire it. It also has hole in it.....I wore it and washed it only ONCE!! Not happy with the quality this time around.

I have this in several colors, I love it so much. However, I do not recommend the green color. I first bought the green last winter, but the color bleached around the collar. I assumed it was my fault, so I repurchased in green during another sale. Sadly, the same thing happened to my second one! My others are fine (I also have blue, gray, and maroon). I'm sad about the green, because it was a nice color, but now I have two ruined green tops.

I was looking for a cute sweatshirt style top to wear on a northern climate summer vacation. I ordered this on 1/22 and received in late May. Is this really in that much demand? I ordered my regular LL bean size of a Medium and it is too snug in the bustling. The waist is also a tad snug. I am considering ordering a large, but I am torn because of the other reviewers stating that it shrinks in the laundry and is too shortlisted.

I loved this sweatshirt when it arrived and it fit perfectly, but it shrunk after washing it (in cold water, dryer set to low). Now is a bit too short and looks weird. Super bummed.

I really wanted to love this. I purchased it in both a L and an XL in Fig (the color is beautiful!), because I wasn't sure how it fit. I am usually a size 12 or a L. That being said, the XL was definitely too big, but the L felt too short. I think if it was offered in tall sizes, it would be perfect. Also, the bottom band kind of stuck out weirdly - it was a little stiff. I'm still undecided if I am going to keep the L or return it, but the XL is definitely going back.

I love the way this looked online but sadly had to return. I am big chested and have hips and this made me look pregnant. I ordered a size up b/c I usually do in sweaters but sadly had to return this. If they made a tall version of this I would have purchased it. I ordered the red color and it's a more maroon color.

I really wanted to love this but the fit is nothing like what's shown on the model. It's not as long or as fitted, the band on the bottom is flared out rather than being snug as shown. Also as I mentioned this is probably at least 2 inches shorter than it looks on the model. I love this design and it's so much nicer than a plain old sweatshirt but it needs work. If it fit like the picture, 5 stars for sure.

Originally got a medium but exchanged it for a large so I can wear it as an outdoor sweatshirt with something underneath . The green is a beautiful color and the style is great. However for the price the tiny LL Bean logo tag and zipper pull should have been leather instead of plastic. Would have been so much classier.

Positive: This is a very warm pullover. Could use improvements: I normally wear an XS in most tops. I bought an XS after reading reviews and noticing that the model's pullover was slightly baggy. The arm and waist length is short on me (I'm 5' 8"). The cuffs and waistband stretched out and fit more like a loose shirt than a pullover. I'll still wear it around the house, but it's not something I'm comfortable wearing hiking or to soccer games.

I also have this in the olive green and i was excited when they released some new colors. I ordered this in Fig, which on the website it appears to be a reddish color. I was a little disappointed when i received my order and it is actually much more purple than i was expecting.
