Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Petite Quilted Full Zip Sweatshirt

This is a very comfortable fabric, warm, lovely color and a nice fit with one exception. When unzipped the color doesn't stand up or lie nicely. I didn't wear it until several weeks after It arrived.so I wasn't able to return it.

Overall is a nice sweatshirt., downside is the sleeves are tight on the arms making it difficult to wear something else with it. Have noticed this with long sleeve garments from Bean.

Sweatshirt is warm and very well made, but the "in-the-package" wrinkles will not come out, even after 3 washes, and using both an iron and a clothes steamer.

Material thinner than expected, especially for the price.

The jacket is lovely. Absolutely perfect for my needs. However, the zipper is terrible. I only wore it once and have had to send it back. Please redo this sweatshirt and spend a little more money and put in a decent zipper. Then I will buy two.

I got this for work to wear over my scrubs. I do wear it everyday. I reached out to llbean about a replacement but never heard.

I have two of these quilted sweatshirt jackets and love them. Bought the first one several years ago and have worn it so often as a sweatshirt indoors and as a fall and spring jacket outdoors. Very good quality jacket and dressier than a regular sweatshirt jacket. Fit is very comfortable but more of s fitted style . If you plan to layer, you may want to go up a size. Very happy with this purchase and many colors to choose from.

Was disappointed in the quality of the zipper.I returned the first one and asked for it to be exchange with one that the zipper worked . The second one was just as bad. Difficult to insert at the bottom(it took me 6 tries) and then it caught on the back placard several times when zipping it up.I've shopped a LLBean for over 60 years and have loved the quality of the merchandise. Not so anymore,I returned the item.

I like it very much. It runs a bit large, is warmer than I anticipated. I like the fact that it is somewhat dressier than a regular sweat shirt.

Very well made, as usual with L.L.Bean. However, considering the price, I expected the quilted area to be more substantial. The fabric overall is disappointingly thin and when unzipped the jacket flops about with an unattractive drape.

This quilted front jacket is so nice and versatile in many ways. I have it in a turquoise color. However, as several people have commented, the zipper is an absolute challenge. It's hard to get started, it catches on the inner facing and it tears the fabric. Not a good thing.

Zipper catches and sticks. I remember when I bought Bean for the superior quality of its products. Feels rather cheap for the price.

Sleeves disappointingly short. Need to be several inches longer.

Just received. Would say true to size. I am 5'5' 118 and usually wear XS in LLbean tops/jackets. Sleeves and body of jacket a little long. Sleeves can be rolled up. Lighter weight than a fleece. Collar does not lay flat if that is an issue for you.

Bought this along with a 1/4 quilted top (same size) at the same time for an overseas trip. The sleeves on this jacket are a good 2" smaller than the pullover top. I will have to return this because it is truly unwearable, especially with a lightweight shirt underneath. Disappointed

Unfortunately the zipper is defective making it difficult to zip up or zip down. I purchased this in navy blue. The problem with the zipper has been mentioned in other reviews. It is being returned. I like the material and already own two of these in heather gray and brown. I hope LLBean can resolve this issue.

This is a lovely warm jacket. But the zipper is quite troublesome. It gets got on an interior placket that I assume was placed there to keep drafts from coming through the zipper teeth. I've worn this 10 times and each time it was a struggle to unzip the zipper. The interior zipper placket is now chewed up by the zip. Wish you would fix this problem and I would buy me of these cozy jackets

It runs small, and needs to be longer in back. Like the quilting

Larkspur color was so dull. Small hole in the front.

The look of this sweatshirt is amazing. It looks like a high class jacket in certain colors like Navy. That being said, the material does not really keep me that warm and I need to add a vest underneath it to really make it worthwhile. My biggest complaint is that L.L. Bean used a brass zipper for this sweatshirt, meaning every time I zip it up or unzip it my fingers smell like metal. It's awful and frustrating. What is the point of using smelly brass? An unfortunate choice that tarnishes an otherwise good jacket.

I freaking loved this as an xmas gift. However, the zipper immediately catches when trying to unzip. I tried to be extra careful but it inevitably lead to snag ands holes along the zipper. I tried to mend them but it just wasn't worth it.

Love this item, but noticed a flaw in the material on the sleeve. Other than that, it fits great and is very comfortable.

I love this sweatshirt, I went to the store and tried it on but they didn't have the color I wanted. I tried a couple of different sizes to make sure it would fit right. It did in the store but not the one I got. The arms are too tight. I can't wear a shirt under it. I will be exchanging for another one because I like it so much but I am disappointed that it didn't fit the same as the one in the store.

The quilted sweatshirt is high-quality and really stylish. I love the more sophisticated and versatile look of this style. I live in an area where it's almost impossible to find XS and petite sizes, so I was excited to find it online. Unfortunately, though, even though I got the smallest possible size, XS Petite, it was still too large. Enormous, in fact. I mean, I'm petite (5' tall, under 100 lbs), but usually I have better success wearing petite styles. Maybe this sweatshirt is just cut for a different body build. I hope smaller sizes will be offered in the future.

Sweater appeared to be high quality material and design. However, it was much longer than I expected and was returned.
