A shopping writer tested the Me by Jennie Garth Bailey Boatneck Sweater from QVC’s sale section and now wears it nonstop. The vintage-inspired pullover costs $38, fits petite plus-size frames, and is machine washable.
At a Glance
- QVC’s Jennie Garth sweater costs $38 and comes in sizes up to 3X
- Raglan seams and ribbed cuffs keep the oversized shape sharp
- January 16, 2026 drop marked the lowest price this season
- Why it matters: A celeb-designed basic that flatters curves without dry-cleaning bills
The writer, based in New Jersey, wanted a tan sweater to pair with black bottoms. Cashmere and wool options required hand-washing, so the cotton-blend Garth piece solved the care issue.
Fit That Flatters Curves
The sweater’s raglan sleeves run all the way down the sides, holding the oversized silhouette in place. Ribbed trim at the boatneck and hem adds texture without bulk.
Key fit details:
- XL fits size 16/18 petite frame
- Elongated wrist ribbing stops sleeves from swallowing short arms
- Cotton blend creates light structure without stiffness
In a QVC video, Jennie Garth said the design is “inspired by a vintage sweater” her aunt owned. The writer notes the shape reminds her of a Fair Isle jumper minus the busy pattern.
Easy Care, Real Wear
The pullover goes straight into the washer and dryer, a perk the writer calls “a game-changer” after years of babysitting cashmere. After three wears, she used a fabric comb to lift minor pilling and the surface looked new again.
Customer reviews on QVC mirror her experience:
- “Different and very flattering”
- “Substantial without being heavy”
- “Soft against skin,” matching Garth’s on-air comment that it’s “real soft”
More Garth Styles on Sale
QVC’s clearance section holds three additional Jennie Garth sweaters, starting at $28:
| Style | Sale Price | Key Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Miles Hi-Low Sweater | $28 | Shirttail hem, two-tone knit |
| Mock Neck Raglan | $32 | Chunky rib, funnel collar |
| Windy Asymmetric Top | $35 | Drape-front, long sleeves |
Inventory turns quickly; the Bailey Boatneck moved from $50 to $38 in the last week of December and could sell out, per News Of Los Angeles‘s tracker.
Why Shoppers Keep Clicking
The writer summarizes the appeal in three bullets:
- Neutral tan works with every bottom she owns
- Oversized cut skims rather than clings
- No dry-cleaning trips or flat-drying rituals
She plans to buy a second Bailey Boatneck in cream before the sale ends. Garth’s line restocks seasonally, but clearance prices disappear once units dip below 100, QVC’s site shows.
Key Takeaways
- $38 gets a celeb-designed sweater that fits sizes 14-24
- Machine-washable cotton blend saves on care costs
- Sale ends when inventory hits low-stock threshold
