The Knee-length Dress is a strapless cotton dress that reaches down to the knees. It is everyday clothing, chosen mostly for its look. It covers the body from the upper arms down to the thighs in one piece.
Its strength is that it replaces a shirt and a pair of pants with a single light garment. Its cost is that it gives only a little warmth, so it works best as a cosmetic piece. It is a common find on clothing racks, in wedding stores and in bedroom wardrobes. The Tailor is the best occupation for clothing. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The dress keeps a little heat in and blocks a little wind across the torso, back, upper arms, groin and thighs. That suits it to warm, dry days. In cold or windy weather it needs warmer layers on top.
Against zombies it is purely a look, so armour or a jacket does the protecting. The strapped and short versions of the dress keep the body exactly as warm. A Crafted Strapless Hide Dress blocks three times as much wind and also stops one scratch in ten.
The dress takes the place of shirts, pants, shorts, skirts and other dresses. Boilersuits and full suits also clash with it. A T-shirt or tank top can still go underneath. It is light and comfortable, and it leaves running and fighting speed as they are.
Tailoring
The dress is cotton, so cotton patches repair holes in it. Ripping it gives a Rag. It can also be dyed another colour with the Dye Clothes recipe.

Notes
- A single dress covers the same parts as a shirt and pants, which saves a step when dressing.
- A hide or tarp dress is the better choice when scratches or rain are a concern.
- Ripping an unwanted dress gives a Rag for bandages or cleaning.
