Customers overwhelmingly praise the sweater for its soft, lightweight cotton fabric that feels gentle against the skin and breathes beautifully. The classic dropped-shoulder, boxy design pairs effortlessly with casual outfits, and the color selection—including sea salt, navy, pale yellow, and soft green—delights many who purchase multiple units. Most find it washes well and retains quality through repeated wear. However, some note the sweater runs large, particularly in the shoulders and sleeves, requiring sizing down. A few report occasional snags after washing. Overall, reviewers consider it an excellent wardrobe staple despite minor fit inconsistencies.
Size small runs a little boxy but I’ll give it a try, it probably will shrink.

I bought this sweater in a petite size because I loved the color and thought that the boxier/cropped look of the petite was much more stylish. It’s so cute! Perfect for cooler fall

Too Big
Fit: Too large
As is usual for LL Bean, the quality of the sweater was excellent; however, while the label said "medium petite," the actual size was more like extra large.

I so wanted to love this sweater, but it’s huge on me. I bought my usual size and I’m just lost in it. The navy is a beautiful color, just how it is pictured.

I hated to return this sweater, but it's me. I am learning that I am better suited to lighter sweaters. This was a beautiful faded green. Wonderfully thick. If you're where it

Odd styling
Fit: A little large
The sweater is nice, but the arms are huge. They are not too long, but they are big and baggy. I guess it’s a look, but not for me.
