The Knee-length Skirt is a cotton skirt that falls to the knees. It is everyday clothing, worn mostly for its look. It covers the groin and thighs and takes the place of pants or shorts.
It is light and easy to find, and it gives a little warmth. Its best use beyond looks is tailoring practice, since researching it teaches several sewing recipes. It turns up on clothing racks, in pawn shops and in tailoring stores, and it can also be cut down from a longer skirt. The Tailor is the best occupation for clothing. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The skirt holds in a little heat over the groin and thighs. Wind passes through it almost freely, so it suits warm, calm days. In the cold a warmer pair of pants does far more.
Against zombies it is a look rather than armour. It keeps the legs as warm as a Mini Skirt and twice as warm as a Short Skirt. The tarp and deer hide knee-length skirts give the same warmth and also stop one scratch in ten.
It takes the place of pants, shorts, other skirts and dresses. Boilersuits and full suits also clash with it. It is comfortable and leaves running and fighting speed as they are.
Tailoring
The skirt is cotton, so cotton patches repair holes in it. Ripping it gives a Rag, and it can be dyed with the Dye Clothes recipe.
Research Craft on the skirt teaches five sewing recipes. They are Sew Knee-Length Dress, Sew Long Dress, Sew Knee-Length Skirt, Sew Long Skirt and Sew Pants.
The Shorten Skirt recipe cuts it down with scissors into a Short Skirt and a Rag. The same recipe turns a longer Skirt into a Knee-length Skirt.
The Research Craft option in the inventory menu studies the Knee-length Skirt and teaches the recipes below.
