Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Organic Cotton Smocked Notch Neck Tee Short Sleeve Print

Love the style and print of this top. The only concern is that the tips of the smocking in the center of the shirt have a tendency to either turn under or over. I did dry it flat, so the tips were flat, but when I wore it they folded out, which for me wasn't a good look. Otherwise it fit me well.

The shirt is well made but the fabric thinner than I usually wear (pima cotton). But should be a nice cool summer shirt. Print fabric does not present coverage issues. Attractive. Runs a little short.

Like the color. Good light summer blouse. The fabric is too limp for the collar to hold flat. I had to sew a button to bring the collar opening together.

Run very big. Material in nice and light. Perfect for Florida weather. I orders a small ( 5'1" 105 lbs) and it was huge on me. I had to give it to my sister. I would suggest ordering one size down. I normally wear a small in LLBean tops.

Material is rather thin. It looks good on you, but I woukd not buy it again because the fabric is not that great.

Nice soft material that feels good on my skin. It is a very pretty shirt. I bought the green and it is pretty.

I really like this product, just not as fitted as I thought. I have a hard time deciding if I am a medium or a large.

So soft and comfy! Splitneck edges didn't have much support, but I just tuck them under for a V-neck appearance. I like that it doesn't cling. It's a bit long because the petites fit me weird. My waist is big so I like a relaxed fit. I got a regular medium. Now thinking about finding this in 3/4 sleeve length for winter-I love the organic cotton feel. More colors would be nice.

Comfortable and soft. Wish it came in other color patterns

I love the color and texture of the fabric and the design of the shirt. The only issue is that for me was large at the waist but good at the shoulders.

Wanted a t-shirt that was a bit nicer than just a plain T-shirt. This fit the bill very nicely. Lightweight and yet still holds shape well. Perfect for the hot humid summer in southwest Texas.

Didn't like the color pattern but I do like the style of the top.

I liked everything about this shirt except that the floral pattern which I liked was not becoming on me

Colorful and summery but runs a little big. Washes well and packs well.

It's comfortable, but that opening at the top front doesn't stay as it looks in the photograph. It keeps turning inward.

These are cute tops. Looked great on the first wear but after washing (following the label instructions) there was some length shrinkage and wrinkles. Not easy care like a regular t-shirt.

I bought the pink print and liked it so well, I went back and bought the blue print and the green dotted one as well. My only issue is that the color is off on the green shirt. It actually looks more grey than green in person. I still like it, but wasn't looking for a grey shirt.

Love the colors. But for me, the split notch at the top is too much. It shifts the whole top around my shoulders. I'm going to sew it shut closer to the top of the notch. Good length

Great colors, great fit and washes and dries beautifully

Fits true to size. The print is a little busy but good for Summer.

I really like this and it feels like a regular t-shirt.

This is a beautiful shirt. I have the one in a pink print. The material is light, soft, and breathable. The small print is very pretty. These are great shirts for very hot days. I have another one I bought a few years ago in the pin-tuck version. Unfortunately both these shirts share the same problem-the material is so soft that the points of the very attractive (in photos) keyhole neckline flop over at the slightest movement-the new shirt folds to the inside; the old one outward. They both end up looking like V-neck openings, which is probably my least favorite style. This is disappointing, especially since I debated even getting it due to this problem on the other one, but decided that you must have corrected the problem by now. I'm not a good seamstress myself, but I think maybe some interfacing might help?

The main reason I purchased these shirts are because they are 100% breathable cotton and does not cling to you on hot days. It is almost impossible to find breathable cotton shirts anymore. Most 100% cotton shirts sold now, including Beans 100% pima cotton shirts do not breathe because they are a type of knitted cotton that don't allow the skin to breathe. I would recommend washing in cold water and hang drying to avoid any shrinkage problem.

The fabric, the fit and the great look of this top are all Bean quality. I rarely walk right out the door in an item I just purchased but this top made that grade (the second color went right into my suitcase). Smocking gives a cooler more comfortable fit, dressier than a T-shirt, but just as reliable. I have not laundered one yet: that's the only reason I did not rate 5 stars

Nice alternative to a plain t-shirt. Comfortable with a cute little print. After washing, the notched neck relaxes and pointed opening flops, so you don't see this detail. Would have liked it an inch or two longer.
