Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Petite Pima Tops Shaped V-Neck Short Sleeve Tee

I really like this top. It's just like some I purchased a few years ago, that are still good, but I wanted a different color. But--the size has changed. The old top was a medium, and still fits. I had to return this (in a medium) and get a large, which fits fine. The fabric is just as nice, but it sure is disheartening that the same item would change size when I haven't. Still, I like it and will probably buy more tops, but in size large.

Good length, good fit

I ordered 5 of the these in different colors. I read reviews and the reason I decided to purchase them is because of the length. I did order a size up (after checking the size chart), as I am busty. I tried one of them on and love the fabric and fit. Because I am busty most tee's are too short. But I love the length of these. I popped the one I tried on in the wash and am crossing my fingers that it doesn't shrink in length. Because I have seen some reviews saying that this shirt does shrink, while other reviews say it doesn't. I will hang dry these shirts just to be on the safe side. If it does shrink I'll sadly return the others that I have not tried on. But if there is no shrinkage, I will definitely order the colors I didn't order. LOL

Great fabric. Not too thin, such a nice feel. I have quite a few pima cotton tops. This style fits well and is dressier than other tshirts. The longer length works better for me. Definitely not too long as some reviewers stated. Well done, LLBean!

These are very nice tshirts - the turquoise is really green - I always think of turquoise as a blue. If you are looking for blue then go with light ocean...I have boobs and hips so I go up a size off the size chart, fit is still flattering without hugging my tummy or upper half.

I have worn the short sleeve v-neck Pima tee for decades. I could always count on neck being comfortable, easy to wash and non shrinking, looks good all the time. Your customer service told me a couple of weeks ago that these shirts were not "discontinued" just not available from the supplier. I have been checking several times a week on your website so when they return I can order right away. I see I am not your only customer that feels this way. IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK? Please bring them back

I went online today to order more short sleeved v-neck pima tee shirts for summer and was amazed to read that you have discontinued them. Why in the world would you do that? I wear the pima long or short sleeved tee shirts just about every day to work. They are perfect under sweaters or suit jackets, with skirts or pants and on the weekends, of course with jeans. They are a comfortably warm layer in the winter, nice and cool in the summer and can pass as dressy or casual. They are so soft, wash beautifully and never shrink. They are a definite winner! After reading all the pleas for their return, I hope you decide to make them available again.

I have searched everywhere for a flattering basic tee that is free of polyester. I ruled it down to this one and a similar company's basic cotton tee. This cotton won. It is softer and a better fit. I do wish there were a longer option. I feel like if I dried these in the dryer, they would be too short.

I have bought several of these, with high hopes! Love the v-neck, the fabric is oh so soft and comfortable, and the colors remain beautiful through several washings. However, after a couple of washings, they shrink in length, somehow exactly nailing the least flattering point on me. I wish these were available in Tall sizes, and would love to see the return of some beautiful jewel colors.

Love the cotton materiel, Wish the sleeves were a tad longer

I bought 5 . love the fabric but after a few washings, it loses the shape. The V neck starts drooping. On some of the colors they shrunk .

Nice quality fabric, although color was brighter than I was expecting.

These pima cotton v-neck t-shirts are like a uniform top for me and I wear one almost every day. I have been wearing them for years and have every color (that looks good on me :) Recent purchases seem to be shrinking significantly more in the wash than those in the past. It's disappointing but I'll still continue to purchase them.

I am a big fan of LLB clothes but was disappointed to find that the shoulder seams had a plastic liner on the underside. I've seen this more in other vendors and never expected LLB to use them since they scratch with washing and wearing over time. I kept the shirts (I bought several at once) and we'll see how they fare. In future I will be returning them.

Comfortable fabric, washes well, well made.. I gave 4 stars instead of five, because I ordered Pettite , expecting the T shirt length to be "shorter"than the regular size, instead, they tapered the T shirt.. rather than shortening it .

The T-shirt feels wonderful, the material is excellent, soft and very durable. If you are between sizes, err on the side of ordering larger than you think you need. That is my only negative comment.

I love these shirts, I have many. Problem is they shrink too much. Better to buy a cotton poly blend. I wash in warm and dry on low heat, so I have to order two sizes larger.

This shirt is just the softest. Drapes beautifully.

The fabric is not as breathable as I'd like, and the waist is tighter than I'd like, but the color is good.

Love the quality of these shirts but again not thrilled with sizing. Large fits pretty well. I usually order xl in all my other tees and they fit great. If I order xl in Bean shirts ridiculously huge

Nice color and good quality fabric. I wear Mediums with no problem, this one is a little snug (still wearable). Did i miss somewhere that it was form/straight fitting?

Great color, great vee neck...but too long for a petite

Pretty good t-shirt. Tags says 100% cotton, but feels kind of "polyestery." Haven't washed it yet, maybe that will help.

The medium petite fits the wife perfectly. Usual LL Bean high quality. Only drawback is they require a bit of ironing to get the wrinkles out after laundering.

I do use a clothes dryer to thoroughly dry my tees. My v neck pima tee in Lake barely fits after several washes. I did intend it for layering, but for future tees I need a more durable low shrinkage product.
