The Dress is a long cotton dress that covers the body from the shoulders to the shins. It is worn in the Long Dress slot. It is a costume and everyday piece rather than survival gear.
Its main strength is the look, and the cotton takes dye. Its main cost is speed, since the long skirt slows running. It also takes the place of a shirt and pants at once.
The Dress is found on clothing racks in wedding stores, tailoring stores and pawn shops. Wardrobes and dressers in homes turn one up now and then. The Tailor is the best occupation for clothing. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The Dress gives only light warmth and little cover from the wind. It suits warm weather and indoor wear.
A survivor who wants protection on the legs and torso is better served by pants and a jacket.
Wearing it cuts running speed by 7 percent. That is a real cost when zombies give chase.
The Dress fills several slots at once. It cannot be worn with a shirt, a short sleeve shirt, pants, shorts, skirts or another dress. A boilersuit and full suits also clash with it. A jacket, a vest and underwear can still go with it.
Tailoring
The Dress is cotton. Ripping it with the Rip Clothing recipe gives a Rag, which is useful for bandages and cleaning. Cotton patches repair it.
The Dye Clothes recipe changes its colour.

Locations
The Dress is a common find in clothing shops. Clothing racks in wedding stores hold one about a third of the time, and so do clothing racks in other buildings. Pawn shops and tailoring stores are also good spots. Clothing, department and shoe stores carry them less often.
In homes, closets, wardrobes, dressers and bedroom lockers turn one up now and then. Motel rooms, changing rooms, garages and attic boxes hold one only rarely.

Notes
- Ripping a Dress gives a Rag.
- The Dye Clothes recipe can change its colour.
- It replaces both a shirt and pants in one piece.
- Its slower running makes it a poor choice for a fighting outfit.
