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

On the plus side, I can wear this T-shirt under a jacket. The down side is that the fabric is too thin and floppy. My bra is visible through it and the fabric drapes and reveals my "back fat". I had hoped for a heavier fabric and was disappointed. I won't buy another.

The quality and thickness of the material is not what it was and to much stretch so not 100% cotton. Not what I wanted not what I exoected

Ive worn an XL for 30+ yrs. This XL fits like a medium. I love the fabric, its very soft. I gave it to my mom who wears a medium.

I wanted to love this shirt. The cotton is so very soft but there is too much spandex which makes the shirt ride up and too form fitting. Disappointed. Would like to return but have already worn.

It's a nice shirt, but sadly after 1 wash following laundering instructions it shrank several inches shorter, see photo - black shirt has been laundered, sunrise pink shirt underneath was not washed

I don't understand why everyone is going along with this sizing?! I am a very standard size medium in t shirts and these are small on me in every way....neck is tight, shoulders are a bit too narrow, length is short. I guess I will try a size large but sheesh, can we get a more standard sizing please?

Sadly, the color LLBean now calls "Dusty Purple" is not really purple at all. It's "Periwinkle Blue". Not the same as the true light purple they used for their Pima T's a year ago. It's an OK color now, but it has almost no red-tones to it and it has mostly blue tones, so it's not fair to call it "Dusty Purple" in my opinion. (And yes, I checked the color on multiple "screens" before I purchased 2 "Dusty Purple" items. They're going back ....)

lI have bought these tops many times. I ordered 2 in a new colour last month and was surprised that the sizing has changed. I compared the new shirts to older ones and the difference was obvious, the new shirt was at least a size smaller. After hunting around, I found a top bought last year in it's original plastic wrap and never washed. That one was also visibly larger. So sad to see this change in quality. In Women's plus size, you will need a size larger if all the colours are the same.

I've bought these every couple of years, hoping the complaints had been addressed. No, they are so soft and great colors, but they're fairly short to begin with and then shrink just a bit with each washing. I always wash in cold and hang to dry. Please offer a tall version! Then I would start buying them again.

I bought these tees as a summer staple - but who wants a high neckline in summer? Please bring back the scoop neck.

I'm only 5'6" but this tee was way too short. I thought the quality would be better.

extra large was too tight and Women's size too large; I returned both of them.

I've looked for nice t-shirts, and they are nice, but just way too short! I wish they came in talls. If I lift my arms, 6" of my stomach shows! And that's wearing high-waist jeans! I wish I could find shirts that actually fit me! Nothing wrong with the quality other than shrinkage.

...way too short, can barely tuck it in. Needs to be AT LEAST an inch longer!

I love the color and fit of this shirt, but it's pretty much ruined after half a dozen or so wearing. Some sort of chemical reaction happened with my deodorant and the underarms of the purple shirt have turned pink. I can't not wear deodorant, so this shirt is useless. I gave it two stars instead of one because if you don't need deodorant, it's a nice shirt.

Petite versions of these that they used to sell are all that I wear. Now they are not made for petites like me , they added 4" on the bottom to make them too long.

Very disappointing. My older tees in the same style as this are much heavier cotton.

Cotton is too heavy for my taste. It might work in the winter for me.

I have worn these T-shirts for years and have loved them. I was happy to see that there were two new colors that I liked, Pale Rose and Lake. Unfortunately, this year's version are longer and narrower, which isn't very flattering for me because I am short-waisted and I returned them.

The fabric is too stretchy for me. I don't want a shirt that is so long and fits so tight around hips. I loved the short-sleeved Pima's of years ago that were smooth and cool and shorter and did not have to stretch out to fit in high hip.

They are pricey so I would think the quality would be amazing. Shirts are really sheer and short not worth the price. Would not recommend.

I purchased several of these tees over the past 6 months. I used to love them. Still do like the colors and feel BUT they shrank in length, like 2 plus inches. At first I thought it was me, literally but today I wore a new one, just washed it and now it is 2 inches shorter. Looks ridiculous. If I wanted shorter tees I would have purchased them. I think they are going back, I wasn't looking for shirts to be above my hips.

Too short for me as a tall girl! Wish they were longer

This shirt is very oversized, if you are in between sizes, go smaller. I love that it is 100% cotton and the casual style is cute. I am not a fan of the back being longer, and did not notice that design on this top. Due to this, the back is "heavier" than the front and pulls the shirt back off the shoulders, and the front rides up. I am constantly adjusting, or pulling the shirt front back down. Overpriced for the poor design. Wish I had returned.

Same as for long sleeve, a disappointment. Shrinks after one washing. I wear a 12-14 and ordered a large to have a roomy fit.
