Common fabrics include cotton and pre-shrunk poly-cotton blends, as well as blends of recycled polyester, rayon and spandex.
Common necklines are crew, scoop and Henley. Many tanks also use Henley-style snap plackets that serve both as a style detail and as nursing access.
Care instructions commonly list machine wash and tumble dry. Graphic tanks typically note that prints are designed to withstand washing.
Most maternity tanks are sleeveless, with lengths that range from at-waist to below-waist depending on the design.
Many tanks use double-layer fabric over the bust and side ruching to provide extra coverage, stretch and room for a growing bump and breastfeeding.
Graphics commonly feature humorous slogans and TV/movie references. Prints are typically front-only and described as using vibrant, durable inks.
Fabrics are generally midweight and described as soft—for example, 2x2 rib knit or other ‘ultra soft’ cotton blends.
