The Long Dress is a strapless cotton dress that reaches down to the ankles. It is clothing worn mostly for its look. One piece covers the body from the upper arms down to the shins.
Its strength is coverage. It keeps more of the body a little warm than shorter dresses do. Its cost is speed, since the long skirt slows running by a tenth. It is common in wedding dress stores and turns up on clothing racks, in pawn shops and in tailoring stores. The Tailor is the best occupation for clothing. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The dress keeps a modest amount of heat in and blocks some wind across the torso, back, upper arms, groin, thighs and shins. That suits mild weather. On cold days it needs a coat over it.
Against zombies it is a look rather than armour, so a jacket or padding does the protecting. It is twice as warm as the Knee-length Dress and blocks twice the wind, and it covers the shins as well. The trade is a much bigger running cost.
The dress cuts running speed by 10 percent, which matters when fleeing a crowd. It takes the long dress slot. It clashes with shirts, pants, shorts, skirts, other dresses, boilersuits and full suits. A T-shirt or tank top can still go underneath.
Tailoring
The dress is cotton, so cotton patches repair holes in it. Ripping it gives a Rag. It can be dyed another colour with the Dye Clothes recipe.

Notes
- The running cost makes it a poor choice for scavenging runs.
- It suits a safe base, where its warmth matters more than speed.
- Ripping a spare dress gives a Rag for bandages or cleaning.
