Rated 5 out of 5 Love it! Easy fit. Can wear it with tights. Dress up or not. May 18, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 Poor fabric Love the fit however the quality of the fabric is poor. May 18, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by love the fit!!! Liked this top so much I went back and purchased a second one in blue and a scarf to match!!!! May 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by soft! I have several of these tees, I love them as they are so soft and comfy! I am a plus size petite, so they are a little long for me, but I use them to sleep in, short and long sleeve. Very light fabric, just perfect. May 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by My favorite shirt Loved this shirt last year, and was delighted to be able to replace my old shirt, which is comparatively dingy since I wore it so much. May 16, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Best J Jill Top Ever Awesome top! The blue is so pretty. Best of all the fabric breaths and is so comfortable. I bought a blue one and went back and got tops in all the other colors. May 16, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by This product is not for me. This tee was a gift that I will be returning. I have a couple of the J. Jill A-line tees from a couple of years ago that I just love - with a ballet neck and long sleeves. I'm sure my daughter was trying to replicate them when she purchased this tee for me. Unfortunately, I find U necklines to be extremely unflattering and I don't know anyone who actually likes them. I also dislike the eliptical hemline -- looks very dowdy - - again, not at all flattering. May 16, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by eliptical tee I bought one in another color at my local store, and when I saw it online on sale I bought another. May 16, 2013

fit and size

I usually buy xlarge tee shirts because of my large bustline. I am wondering what size to order in this elliptical tee? Since it looks to run a little larger. I am afraid it might look like a maternity top?

thanks-Becky from Atlanta

I understand, my bustline is DD+, so tight fits are rather
unflattering and uncomfortable. I own this tee, and the
bustline is true to size. The largest failure however, is
the shrinkage in length, with the bottom width remaining
wide. After a couple of washes, you're wearing a Maternity
Top. For this reason, I will no longer purchase these.
Great concept though. BTW, I'm a Petite medium or large.

Buy the XL. I have a larger bust as well and it covers that area perfectly but doesn't make the front of the shirt shorten up either. I have 6 of these I love them so much. I don't think it looks like maternity at all. You can always wear a belt around the waist too if you want a true cinch look. I have these tees expressly Because they aren't super form fitting, except at the shoulder/bust area.

This is Sara from J. Jill. Thank you for your question!

Our Pure Jill Short Sleeve Elliptical Tee is one of our most popular tees! While it does have a slightly relaxed fit, this top is fitting true to size in the chest and is more generous in the hip area due to the a-line shape.

In the Misses size Extra Large (18/20) the chest measurement is 47“. In the Misses size Large (14/16), the chest measurement is 44“.

It does run a little large, however if your bust are VERY large you may want to stick with your regular size. Try going to a store & try one on if one is in your area.

What size to order.....

I've read the reviews and most of the ladies that have bought these shirts are full figured which I am not. My bra size is 36D and I am average to slender built. Any suggestions on what size to order? I usually wear an medium in other vendors, sometimes small.

This is Sara from J. Jill. Thank you for your question!

Our Misses’ size Medium is designed to fit sizes 10 to 12. The chest measures 41” on the Medium and the a-line shape makes it generous at the hip. If that seems too large, our Misses’ size Small, which is designed to fit sizes 6 to 8, has a chest measurement of 38 ½”.

I consider myself "full figured" because I am busty, but the shirt runs just right in the bust for me, and full in waist. If you are between a sm and med, I would order both and return one.

This tee runs a little long so the petite is always perfect for me since it is a shorter length.....not too much, but some. I love it. You can be slender or regular size and you should love this tee. They are very light weight pima cotton knit so I would suggest one of the colors instead of the white.

I hear you, but be patient a little while longer. If you were
not able to snap up the darker hues and rich color saturation
tops from Autumn and Winter ( reds, greens, deep oranges
and blacks ), you may need to review the Sale and Outlet
areas of the site. Spring is full of Pastels and Prints, so make
yourself aware of that marketing approach for now.

For some reason, the short sleeved Pure Jill Tee is usually
in lighter colors than the long sleeved version.

Take heart, perhaps the non Pure Jill Pima Cotton versions
may make up for the lack of color saturated short sleeved tops.

I think that is a great idea! I am a blonde, but like to wear vibrant colors myself, in addition to softer colors. It is such a wonderful style that adding various sleeve lengths would help indoors with air conditioning and a more professional look. Linen or washable rayon would be just as comfortable but dressier.

I agree, more colors! I would order tons, just wasn't crazy about the color choices for my skin tone. Also the white is too see through to wear without a tank and it's too hot in Memphis for all that!

being shorter in the front, i'm hoping it's long enough for leggings, i.e., falls below the crotch area, and not slightly above or 'just at.'

What is the front length in an XL ? I'd like to wear this with leggings or slim pants but need a 30" length. Also please offer the short sleeve top in Tall sizes. I like the ballet sleeve tee but need short sleeves in the summer.

I own this Tee. It will shrink in length, with the bottom width
remaining wide. Unless you want to wear a Maternity Top,
post washing, try instead the A line Pure Jill Tunic that is
cotton knit modal.The shrinkage is minimal, and more
appropriate for Leggings. The sleeves would be 3/4, but
that's the only remedy for the Pure Jill Tees. A better choice
would be the Linen Tunics due soon or in the Sales/Outlet.
