Women's Rib Lace Tank Top
We designed this tank to bring a touch of feminine detail to your everyday lineup. The Universal Thread women's rib lace tank top starts with a soft cotton-modal blend knit into a classic ribbed texture that moves with you and holds its shape wear after wear.
Delicate lace trim frames the neckline and armholes, adding a vintage-inspired accent that elevates this piece beyond a basic tank. The slim fit follows your natural silhouette without clinging, while the slightly longer length ensures comfortable coverage whether you're tucking it in or leaving it loose. Pair it with high-waisted denim and sneakers for weekend errands, or layer it under a blazer for a pulled-together weekday look.

Fabric composition & construction
Our cotton-modal blend combines the breathability of natural cotton with the silky drape and durability of modal fiber. This 60% cotton, 40% modal composition resists pilling and holds color exceptionally well through repeated washing.
The ribbed knit construction runs vertically along the entire garment, creating natural stretch that recovers quickly after wearing. We chose a medium-gauge rib that offers structure without stiffness, so the tank maintains a polished look throughout the day. The lace trim is sewn with a double-needle stitch for durability, ensuring the delicate detailing stays secure even after dozens of laundry cycles.
Sizing & fit guide
This tank follows our standard Universal Thread sizing and runs true to size with a slim, body-skimming fit. The ribbed fabric offers approximately two inches of stretch across the bust and waist for comfortable movement.
Length measurements: Size small measures 24 inches from highest point of shoulder to hem, medium measures 24.5 inches, large measures 25 inches, and extra-large measures 25.5 inches. The armholes sit slightly higher than a traditional tank to showcase the lace detail while still providing secure coverage. If you prefer a looser fit or plan to layer over fitted undergarments, we recommend sizing up one size.
Care & maintenance
Machine wash this tank in cold water with similar colors to preserve both the fabric integrity and the lace trim. We recommend using a gentle cycle and placing the garment in a mesh laundry bag to protect the delicate lace detailing.
Tumble dry on low heat or lay flat to dry for best results. The cotton-modal blend naturally resists wrinkles, but if needed, use a warm iron on the reverse side of the fabric. Avoid ironing directly on the lace trim. With proper care, this tank will maintain its shape, softness, and color vibrancy through years of regular wear.

Questions about the Rib Lace Tank Top
Our ribbed lace tank is pre-shrunk and designed to maintain its size through regular washing. We recommend washing in cold water and tumble drying on low heat to preserve the fabric's integrity.
If you prefer to air dry, lay the tank flat to prevent any stretching. The cotton-modal blend is engineered to resist shrinkage, and most customers report that the fit remains consistent even after dozens of washes.
We offer this tank in several versatile shades designed to coordinate with any wardrobe. Our core color palette typically includes classic white, black, navy, and soft neutrals like oatmeal or dusty rose.
Color availability may vary by season, and we occasionally introduce limited-edition hues. Check the product page for current in-stock colors and sign up for restock notifications if your preferred shade is temporarily unavailable.
The lace trim we use is selected specifically for comfort and is backed with soft fabric along the edges that touch your skin. Most customers find it completely comfortable for all-day wear.
The lace sits flat against the ribbed knit and doesn't have rough or stiff elements. If you have particularly sensitive skin, wearing the tank over a thin camisole for the first few washes can help soften the lace even further.
Pair the ribbed lace tank with tailored trousers or a midi skirt in a complementary solid color. Add heeled mules or strappy sandals and simple jewelry to let the lace detail be the focal point.
For evening events, tuck the tank into a high-waisted satin skirt and add a structured blazer draped over your shoulders. The lace trim elevates the look without requiring additional statement accessories, making it an effortless option for dinners, date nights, or semi-formal gatherings.
The primary distinction is the delicate lace trim that frames the neckline and armholes, adding a feminine touch you won't find on our standard ribbed tanks. This detail makes the tank appropriate for occasions where a plain tank might feel too casual.
The fabric composition is also slightly different, with a higher modal content for extra softness and drape. If you're looking for a versatile piece that bridges the gap between basic and special-occasion, this lace-trimmed version offers the best of both worlds.
The rib knit does have subtle texture, so it may be slightly visible under very thin or clingy fabrics. However, the medium-gauge rib we use is relatively fine and doesn't create obvious lines under most button-downs, blouses, or lightweight sweaters.
For the smoothest layering under fitted tops, choose our slim-fit camisole instead. But if you're layering under looser knits, cardigans, or structured blazers, the ribbed texture won't show through and actually adds a nice dimensional element when the top layer is unbuttoned.
