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

I've purchased close of 50 of these tees over the years and they have always fit my curvy figure perfectly. Just ordered 3 more in new colors and was disappointed that both the cut and length are different. Too tight across hips, 2-3 inches too long. These would be perfect if I were a stick figure. Frustrating.

I am returning this shirt. The fit was not great and the cut not like other pima cotton shirts. Also, the length was very long.

I back-ordered the white V-neck because I've loved previous Bean tops like this. However I'm sending this one back--fabric is very thin and see-through, plus there's a bit of shininess that I don't like.

Tops are too small. I have bought from Bean for years and this year are so very cheap with material. I'm a Medium in JJill, even xl just fits in Bean.

My first return to LLBean. I did not like the Pima cotton. It felt slick not like cotton.

I've enjoyed LLBean pima T's for years. But this new Semi-Fitted syling is too snug for me. I'm 5'8". This top is too long for an unticked T and too short for a tunic on me. So sad about these changes in styling. I do like the much nicer Vneck detailing than in the past. Keep the Vneck detailing but give mature women something less fitted and 2" shorter. I could keep and hope eventually shrinkage would shorten and widen it enough....but that's an uncertain endeavor. Returning

VERY unhappy. I bought one in navy several months ago--and love it. Very comfortable. Needed a couple more and ordered same size--but it was noticeably more snug around the chest and armpits. I compared the size to the navy one I had and it's very clear that the pattern changed. The shirt is narrower through the chest and armpits to the point of feeling restricted with movement. Why was a good thing changed by changing the pattern and cutting in tighter? Cutting corners (literally) to save cost?! I don't like this shirt anymore. I still like how the navy shirt fits--so it's not 'my' body size that has changed.

The 'shaped' shirt doesn't fit well compared to other T's of same size. Too tight. I will return for refund

I bought two of these shirts last year and loved them, so I ordered two more. The neckline of the shirts I got this year is so high it fits like a men's undershirt. Unfortunately, I wore one before I decided it wasn't working, but the other one is going back.

the sizing is all wrong for this item. I measure a size medium but bought the size large and only got 2 inches for easement. That is not enough to wear this top out in public. I returned it.

I cannot give this more than 2 stars based on the fact that they are way too long for me. I have been buying these "tee's" for years and now they are all too long. It's like they are made for a tall person and not short like me.

I had to return this. I am a 2X shortwaisted woman, and yet this was still too short. The photo show it falls to low hip, mine did not even cover my stomach. I gave it two stars for good quality and good color. Even the cut was decent, it was just way to short. Large women do not want their stomachs hanging out unless the purposely buy a crop top.

These shirts run small and feel like spandex. Not flattering for most of us, I'm returning.

I do not like how the tshirt fits. I purchased a size medium. It falls too far down on the hip and is not attractive. It would be far better if the length was mid-hip. The materials felt nice and light - perfect for warmer weather. But because of the fit, I returned it.

I have ordered the Petite XS in the past and have been very pleased. I just received my new Petite XS (pink) and it does not fit the same. It is snugger around the waist. The fabric feels stretchier and a little clingy. Not a good look. I compared the fit to my older shirts (same style and size) and the new shirt has changed. If anything the older shirts should be snugger as they have been laundered multiple times. Not ready to give up I ordered a size up- Petite S. It was too big overall, Next I tried the Regular XS and it was also somewhat snug around the waist and way too long. Sadly, I had to return all 3 shirts and will have to look elsewhere for new shirts this year.

The shoulders were narrow and different lengths so it looked off. One side was at least 1/4 inch shorter than the other side, roughly 3 inches vs. 3.25 inches between the neck trim and sleeve. I also bought the 3/4 sleeve version which fit much better with closer to 4 inch shoulder width. Too bad. Colors and fabric were very nice.

I have many of these Tee Shirts in my wardrobe but wanted some new colors so I purchased two of the Pima Tops. Unfortunately, I had to return them as they are too small. I ordered the same size as I currently have, large, but still the sleeves, shoulders and bust were too tight. Why does a great product have to change sizes? The fabric and colors are nice - just not the size.

I've been buying from LL Bean for many years & had appreciated the consistency in sizing and quality of their products. Unfortunately, the shirt just received was more than 3 inches longer than previous shirts of the same style/size and the fabric is a lesser quality. I'm disappointed to have to return the shirt.

I've bought many of the Pima V-neck Tshirts over the years and prefer the longer torso length nowadays. However, stitching on the shirts I bought this year is already breaking! Photo shows bottom R front hem of well-worn old shirts (pink, tan) vs 2021 (white, purple, blue). Will return some, maybe keep purple since I love that shade.

I bought based on the size chart online. Much too big, way too long. Also, don't care for the fabric. The only thing pretty about this is the color (bought yellow and purple). Too much trouble to return during Covid. Will donate to Goodwill.

not happy with the quality of these shirts, especially the azelea color runs small , will return also returning one in a crewneck it has a snag and not even worn, also runs small and that was an XL!!.

I have been looking for a replacement for t-shirts from another company. I am leaving that company due to dreadful customer service. However, llbean does not offer a tall t-shirt nor much in the way of fitted. I generally purchase medium tall. This shirt is consider semi fitted. It is baggy and barely goes below the waist. I have an athletic build as well as being busty. This shirt is not suitable. I will be returning it; at a hefty price.

Have been buying these for years and loved them. A great staple for my casual wardrobe. HOWEVER, this is not the same tee now that the material has been thinned down, the shape narrowed and the length longer. The "boxy" shape worked really well for me (very forgiving) and the short length was perfect for my petite frame. Not sure why the changes were made unless this is just a way to increase profit without increasing the price? Will not be buying anymore of these. By the way, I was pretty upset about having to pay $6.50 to return a product that had been changed from what I had bought in the past.

When I first tried these I liked them and ordered more. Big mistake. They are like cheap cotton Tees you buy at low end dept. stores. They stretch out wide and shrink in length creating a terrible boxy, dumpy look. I won't even wear them to bed because they are so ill fitting. They stretch out in arms and width as I wear it through the day. Waste of money. They are not even fit to donate after 5 wears. I am very frustrated that I spent so much money on these. I am 38gg bra and everything is too wide, including arms and the length is too short for 5'1". I washed on delicate and cool dry.

cusromer service person lied to me about the material this top was made of
