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

Color as shown. True to size. Material is soft but almost flimsy. I would not recommend and I wouldn't have bought it if it wasn't on sale. Not worth the full price I haven't washed it yet- fingers crossed Large 5'5" 160

I like almost everything about this shirt. However, the fabric is thin, as most t-shirt fabric is these days, so the neckline area does not keep its shape. It needs a facing, or some kind of shoring-up to keep the corners of the V from collapsing and looking sloppy.

Fit around was nice and generous but length is too short.

The organic cotton makes this shirt soft and comfortable to wear, and the color, cut and sleeve length is attractive. However, it's fussy to take care of it after coming out of the dryer - the V-neck loses its shape partly due to the smocking, and has to be sprayed with water and stretched to look right again.

The hem of the Tee needs to be wider or split to fit a larger buttocks area

I like the colors and idea of this shirt, but it is disappointing overall. The neckline keeps turning under, and the "smocking" is just thin bits of loose elastic. It also shrank a good bit, even with cold water, line dry.

I loved the shirt but it shrank in the dryer on low-damp dry. Very disappointing. If you buy this shirt never put it in the dryer. The solid color shrank more than the print.

The slit neck gaps open and will not hold its form

I was not happy with the neckline. It did not lay flat but folded in on itself. I stitched the neckline closed and it looked much better.

The blouse looked very cute but it was too big so returned it.

Needs to be pre shrunken forgot to hang dry on 3rd

I always wear a medium from Bean. This medium was way too big. I even washed it in warm water to shrink. It did shrink some but was not happy with the neck line. It always fell open..

Love the shirt but the V opening flaps over. Does not stay in place as shown in picture. Plan on sewing the bottom of the V together about 2 inches and hope it keeps the top flat.

I really like this shirt, but for the price it is disappointing. I can't get the v in the neck to keep from folding inwards even after pressing it.

I absolutely love this shirt. It's lightweight & feels great .

Love the shirt but hate the neckline. The corners of the V are constantly folding in.

I love the fabric & styling of the new notched-neck tees. I bought 5. The sunset gold flora & the bay leaf dot were cut differently than the other 3. They bagged sloppily at the notched-neck & shoulders. The notched neck badly needs some type of support- - ties would be perfect for holding the look together instead of getting totally out of shape. The other 3 fit well but could definitely use some tie support. Returning the offenders

Loved that it's cotton and comfortable, but it shark. It wasn't cheap, so I'm unhappy.

I prefer all cotton clothing because of the comfort and breathable fabric. This is comfortable and looks nice, however the white dots are not woven into the fabric. They are applied somehow on top of the fabric, like they were painted on, and started to wear away slightly even after the first wash. I will keep this and wear it for casual occasions until the wearing away of the dots becomes more obvious, and then ?, because I did get this on sale.

I love the print, and I'm keeping the shirt. But overall, it's just so-so. The relaxed fit doesn't work well for me with this fabric. It's a nice, lightweight, flowy fabric that's just kinda baggy. (I can't drag the "fit" button in my Firefox browser.)

There should be a little button at the top of the vee...or a tie...it doesn't want to lay nice and flat (I wondered if this would happen but liked the print) The fabric dots can be felt ...

Way too long for me. I have tons of the Pima Cotton Crewneck but this shirt was more like a tunic, than a tee. It was very cute and a different color but it hung past my butt.

I believe they are extremely overpriced. A little stiffness in neckline would have been nice to hold the shape. Definitely not a tee material, but a cute style!

This is misnomered in that there is absolutely no "smocking" in this shirt. I merely has an elastic band attached along the fabric.I have in the past made many smocked dresses for little girls and it is a totally different thing than what you are selling.

Fabric is poor. A bit rough probably because dots are stamped on, not woven into fabric. Color much lighter than shown on web. Made in Cambodia. Overpriced for quality. I decided to keep since I like the style.
