Liana Restore Soft Lite Long Sleeve T-Shirt

Change can be good but, in my experience, when Nordstrom/Zella changes their products, it's for the worse. the old Liana top was so soft and light. This one has a slimmer fit and is more than twice as heavy (yep, I weighed it on a highly accurate kitchen scale). This now feels like a cold-weather baselayer instead of the previous iteration that I could wear all summer. It doesn't drape well and is not flattering. Zella did the same thing with the now-discontinued lettuce-edge top but in reverse. The original version was made of a substantial and warm knit, then they started producing inferior quality versions and *poof* they're gone. They must have sold tens of thousands of the original Liana, I bought eight of them and so did several of my girlfriends. If it works, leave well enough alone!

I have many of the Zella lightweight shirts in another style, so I didn’t hesitate in ordering. I received the first one and noticed immediately that the fabric was not soft, was not thin or lightweight, or stretchy. I tried it on to see why it was so different. It is very hot, as it didn’t stretch at all, and the size I normally wear looked awful. Baggy at the bottom and tighter in the bust. Just for reference, I am 5’5 and weight 120, so I always wear an XS. Bring back the soft, lightweight, stretchy heathered tops you had before. These are going back!

Great lightweight long sleeve for outdoor exercise. I live in SoCal and it's perfect for mornings that can be a little chilly. Fit is good, not too snug around the middle but not baggy either.

Too small. Need plus size.

This is not the Liana of yore. The fabric is rougher and the neck is higher, more like a crew. Still, it is a quality shirt that fits true to size. The color selection is improved which is what drew my attention. Previous Liana only came in gray and blue. My two soft gray earlier versions still have of plenty life in them, so I returned the new one.

i love it, great quality and fits perfect

I’m to the point of only feeling truly comfortable wearing these long-sleeved ZELLA shirts. This version (love the color) fits the bill! They are super soft and wash beautifully. They’re great for exercise, of course, but I frequently wear them with jeans and slacks.

I rarely give five star reviews, but this top is the best. I love the pink I love the fit I love the length and I love the feel perfect. I’m 5’6” and size 8, medium is best

I agree with the others who have posted about current quality on these shirts. I have one from a couple years ago and it’s VERY stretchy, uber comfy, thin but warm and flattering. Now at least 1/2 of the stretch is gone, the neck hole is smaller which is less flattering, the material is more stiff, and the fit is smaller in the chest and larger in the stomach. It’s just a stretchy long sorta workout feel tshirt now. I’m super disappointed - bought and returned a large and xl - both fit but just not the same, would rather keep the money. Too bad - I was excited to figure out these were still being made.

Very comfortable and well fitting

I purchased my usual size XS and it fits well. The Purple Secret color is very pretty. This top is a little longer which is much more flattering. I hope they make this top in more colors!

Already in the donation bag, this version of the Zels shirt has ill-fitting arms, not forgiving, but most unfortunate feel - the poly-blend, even after the prescribed washing and hanger-dry, is uncomfortable. If you are looking for an almost compression-type feel, this is the shirt for you. If you are hoping for a relaxed fit, make sure you get the cotton version.
