Customer Reviews for L.L.Bean Women's Sunwashed Waffle Splitneck Sweater, Lightweight 100% Cotton
View Product DetailsCustomer Reviews
What customers say:
Customers overwhelmingly praise the sweater for its soft, lightweight waffle-knit cotton and flattering V-neck design. Many highlight the comfortable fabric, rich sunwashed colors, and quality construction as reasons for repeat purchases. However, most note the sweater runs large and boxy, recommending sizing down. Sleeve length divides reviewers—those with longer arms find them perfect, while others find them excessively long. A few report craftsmanship concerns. Despite fit inconsistencies, most customers consider it a worthwhile wardrobe staple.

Size down, but arms too long

I wanted to like this, but the reviews about the size and arm length were right. I wear a large in tops and have a fairly large chest, but ordered the medium and it fit perfectly.

Great sweater until you wash it
Size Purchased: Large
Used for: Casual or Every Day
Lovely color (teal), sturdy cotton, generous fit. But "machine wash, dry flat." No. It comes out of the washer stretched, Shrek-sized, misshapen. "Dry flat" won't do correct those

Very nice sweater
This is a very nice sweater. I actually bought it for my trip to Iceland, but I think it is too heavy for that right now, however I kept it as it will be great for the Midwest fall

This sweater was much too large; I understand some people need that extra room but the sizing on this was over the top. The sleeves were ridiculously long; you need better gauges.

Cute but too short
