I am petite, but ordered the women's small. After wash/dry, it is perfect. It is a nice texture and love the color. My sister purchased one, she is petite and ordered an x-small and loved it as well.
I have about 15 of these in different colors and long/short sleeves. I dress them up with a nice necklace and slacks, or down with jeans. They are a perfect product. Color never seems to fade and they don't shrink.
Bean's pima tee shirts are consistantly top rate. The quality is unbeatable, colors are fabulous and the comfort is suberb! I have been buying long sleeve, short sleeve, crew neck boatneck and V neck for several years and plan to continue to do so.
