Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Plus Size Pima Crew Neck Short Sleeve

Runs small. Love the color but can't wear it. I had ordered two dresses in the same size and they fit perfect.

I would much prefer these if they were 1-2 inches longer in length. The v-necks are longer and more flattering.

The fabric quality and stitching are amazing, but it wasn't quite right for a plus size fit. The sleeves and torso too short. I bought 4 of these, and because they felt so good, I washed them right away to wear. I don't wear any of them due to the length issues.

This top comes out wrinkled and stays wrinkled no matter how properly and gently you wash/dry it. It would get returned if I wasn't in love with the coral color. Gorgeous!

Like another reviewer, I tried this on prior to washing and the fit was fine. After washing on cold and drying on low, it did shrink and the sleeves were tight and length was shorter. I have given up on finding an LLBean cotton tee lately that does not shrink, I have many from past years and have never had a problem.

After years of ordering these in a medium and weighing 5 pounds less, I found the medium was a bit snug...

I was happy with the aqua color but the sleeves were too short for my arms and looked awkward on me.

I really liked this tee but had to return because it was too small.

LLBean changed the fabric they used in making this shirt, which used to be a staple in my wardrobe. The previously-medium weight cotton fabric is no more, replaced with a thinner weight cotton. This makes the shirt look sloppy. While the colors are gorgeous, the quality of the shirt is marginal.

So soft and comfortable, good length The care instructions tab is so scratchy it makes this shirt almost unwearable! I should not have to trim labels in order to wear a garment.

This shirt was too small in so many ways. The sleeves were too short, the length too small and it clung to me. I prefer a more relaxed fit. I'm not long bodied by any means at 5'3".

I have many of these tees and I wanted to get some new colors. This past winter LL Bean offered these shirts in long sleeved TALL! I am of average height but I like the longer style due to inevitable shrinkage no matter how careful I am laundering them. I have written and read many reviews from others asking for Bean to make a tall option. I'm not going to get any shirts this spring. Please, LL Bean, listen to your customers and make these wonderful tees longer! I like the fabric and softness of these shirts but I'm going to pass this spring.

Petite size is too long, as it reaches my crotch as of a tunic not T-shirt

Love this Tee, but it is too short. I had to return it. My sister lives in RI where LL Bean has a huge presence. She said people complain all the time about the length of the shirts.

Love my Pima Ts but this year new purchases are 1 1/2 inches shorter than old ones in the Petite size. I will be returning for Regular size.

Great substantial fabric but slightly shaped is too small under the arms to be comfortable. Light blue color is smaller than other identical shirts. Wish I had bought a larger size.

My wife asked me to order this for her. She liked the length and fit initially. However, unlike a recent LL Bean advert claim, it has started to shrink in length after only a few washes. No change in washing method, temperature (cold), or washing liquid. Primary reason this review received 3 stars and not a 5.

I love the Pima cotton and the look of the tee, but it isn't offered in a tall or long fit for those of us who are longer in the torso or just want a longer fit. I would get it in every color if it were an option.

I have always ordered a small in these shirts but this one was too tight in the bust.

Unfortunately this was very short on my medium length torso, barely covering my navel. It also had a very boxy silhouette in the abdomen which is not flattering especially being so short. I got a small based on my measurements and it fit well in the bust but seemed to have no contour at the waist. It's a shame because the quality of the fabric is so nice and the colors are vibrant and beautiful. The fit was just a big miss for me. Will have to return.

I wish the shirt were a little longer. Otherwise it is great.

I used the sizing guide to help me determine my size which was a Medium. I typically am right between a Medium and Large. I will typically order a Tall if it's an option (it wasn't this time). I received the shirt and yes, it's very soft and looks very well made but it's tiny! I'm returning it.

This shirt is good quality (finally a white tee that isn't see-through!) but runs short (in the regular size category). Please add tall lengths for the ladies that don't want their lower abdomen showing at work.

The tee was too small so returned. Material is soft.

I am 5'7, 128 lbs and have been a size small in these shirts. There was a short time a few years back when it seemed LL Bean cut back on the fabric and I ordered a few mediums. But they were slightly baggy. More recently I found the smalls to be similar to the old size smalls. Not now however. This small was too tight and clingy so I am returning it. I even measured against one of my old smalls and it was about 1-1.5 inches smaller on the sides. It's frustrating that when you find an item that is a staple in your closet the manufacturer keeps changing the sizing. These used to be wonderful shirts. Please bring them back in the old size and material quality.
