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

I have worn these pima LL Bean tees for years and always get a large. I ordered 3 a few weeks ago and they were skin tight. I had to return them and get an extra large, which fit like the former large size did. One thing I've always loved about LL Bean's clothes, is when a particular style fits well, I can order with confidence that it will fit. But quit changing the sizing! My first thought was, same price, less fabric... The same thing happened a year or 2 ago with the cargo pants :(

I am forever on the search for 100% cotton shirts for everyday wear. I bought two of these tees in different colors. I washed and dried them together. They both shrunk up in the length but one of them much more than the other as to make it unwearable. It is so disappointing. I am returning the one and hoping that the other doesn't continue to shrink.

The material and fit are fine but the shirt is too short to tuck in.

Feels great but styling is looser than I'd prefer. It looks a bit sloppy.

I love LL Bean's tees, but I'm sorry I bought this one. It's way too short and then shrunk when I washed it. When I raise my arms, you can see my tummy (and I have a short torso). Not a good look for an 80-year-old woman!

I washed this tee one time according to all directions and it shrunk. It is much shorter than it was originally. The inside of the tee says it is 100% Supima Cotton. I chose to donate instead of returning it.

Ordered a Medium, but it was too small! I always wear a medium, but not this time!

I ordered a couple of these tees because the colors were great and they all usually pretty durable. However, I wore it one day and there is already damage to the shirt. It looks like it rubbed against my pants button and started to disintegrate.

I have bought several of these tees this year. The one I just got is longer than the others. I have not grown, and I don't like the way it looks. Love the ones I have; this one is going back.

both both long and short sleeve tees and wound up donating then without ever wearing as the color was not a good cream..it was too yellow. Will recommend the product for comfort, style and fit as I have more than 14 long and short supima tees in my closet but am not happy with the lack of color choice (what ever happened to pink, and a real cream, or other pale shades?)

Unfortunately, I wore the Tee one time, washed it and then air dried it over a railing. When I went to wear it again there was a small hole in the front of the Tee. That was after one washing. Other than that, I liked the material and the color. So, only giving this Tee 2 stars.

In yellow, the texture of the fabric is unpleasantly slick and slippery (100% Pima cotton).

I have a bunch of these but they all shrink - especially in the length. Why son't you make them in TALL like your long sleeved T's? Really disappointing,

I was looking to upgrade my wardrobe from the inexpensive tees I usually wear so I thought I'd invest in a couple of nice llbean tees. I remember liking the fit when I originally tried it on but since I washed it it's just not comfortable. Definitely not worth the money,

Love the color and fabric. However, did not love the shrinkage.

"Radiant Magenta" shirt was washed before wearing. It still looked "Red". Wore "red" shirt with white bra; red color rubbed off on white bra. Expected quality is lacking -- due to color transfer.

I've been purchasing these tees for years and the quality and sizing is definitely not what it used to be. The sizes are smaller and the ribbing around the collar doesn't lay flat. Material does not hold up as long either. Will be switching to another brand.

Im not large and this small isnt small. I am also not fat, so nothing ever fits right. Very disappointed.

I've bought many of these Pima Cotton T-shirts in XL Reg over the years and they have fit very well. I recently ordered the Pale Rose color, but it was way too small even before washing, so I returned it. There was nothing wrong with the shirt--just too small. Wish their sizing was more consistent. Hate to be sending things back and forth. Their Saturday T-shirts tend to fit me better, but few to select from in that style right now.

I used the online chat with your company to find a heavy white tee that was not see through, that I could wear with a beige bra underneath. Your rep recommended this shirt and another one. BOTH SHIRTS ARE SEE THROUGH. Very disappointed

Great material, wanted to love this shirt but it shrunk too much and I even dried on low. I am not tall and my stomach shows if I move the wrong way.

I love the feel of this material and the way it drapes. The shirt, however, is simply too short. I washed it in cold water and line dried and like may other reviewers stated, it's simply too short after washing. I will still wear it, but I predict it will not get as much wear time as other items in my closet.

I am 5'5" and always order a regular size. I have several LL Bean tees in a regular medium and they fit well. This one, however, barely came down past my waist. I cannot wear it alone without exposing my lower back when I sit. I took the tags off, and it's not worth the price to send it back. The fabric is nice and soft.

This item was a mistaken buy. It shrunk and became too tight in two washings. I have bought other tees from you that must have had different content -- they did not shrink and remained soft. I had to give these two shirts to a grand-daughter who is 12 yo. I thought the neck area was too tight, compared to other tees I have bought from you.

The fabric and color are nice, but the neckline is too high. I thought I was ordering the same style as I had previously, with a nicer scoop neckline. This one chafes.
