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

Looking at reviews and size chart, I decided to go with a small so I could have enough room to wear a long sleeve shirt underneath. When I received the sweatshirt I was shocked at how big it is. I can grab at least four inches of spare fabric on each side, and the bottom seems to flare out. I was looking for a cute sweater to wear to work, but this looks too sloppy. For $70 I was expecting better quality and fit.

I like the design and fit of this garment and I like the fabric of the body of the garment. However the fabric in the cuffs and bottom edge of the garment doesn't seem like it belongs to this garment. It is stiff so it doesn't lay in the garment right and instead sort of sticks out instead of being a smooth part of the sleeves and garment. Very unattractive and uncomfortable.

I bought this sweatshirt two months ago. I love how it fits, but it's already falling apart.

This looked so nice in the catalog - but was was way too big. Being 5' I ordered a petite - but would have to be 5'5" to pull this off. The wide band at the bottom flared out like a little skirt, the sleeves were down to my finger tips and it was very baggy. So sad, I had to send it back.

I washed this product once and you would think I had dropped bleach all over it. The green color has turned to an orange/yellow all over the collar and sleeve and in random spots on the front of the pocket/pouch. I do not use bleach when washing my clothes, I don't use shared machines so no one else used bleach, and this didn't happen to anything else in my load. I took the pullover to the store to show the sales associate and she admitted that the color should not have run this way but said there was nothing she could do. I expect LL Bean products to be able to hold up to more than a simple washing. If you're going to buy this I would suggest you hand wash it, otherwise you'll end up with a non-wearable pullover like mine. I would not recommend this.

I needed a warm slipover sweatshirt and once again the design is for women who have no hips! Not everyone is built like a stick. Most women do have curves. I am a medium and usually have to order a large size to get a hip size that fits! This is tight and way too narrow at the hips. I hope there will once again be options for women with curves.
