The Long Strapped Dress is a full-length cotton dress held up by shoulder straps. It is mostly a piece for looks, with a little warmth for mild weather. It runs from the shoulders down past the knees to the shins.
The dress takes the Long Dress slot, so it replaces both a shirt and a pair of pants. Its main strength is that one piece covers most of the body. Its main cost is the long skirt, which slows running by a tenth.
It is found on clothing racks, mostly in wedding stores and their storage rooms. Like most cotton clothing, it can be ripped into a Rag when it is worn out. The Tailor is the best occupation for clothing. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The dress gives light warmth across the torso, back, upper arms, groin, thighs and shins. It keeps out a little wind as well. That suits a mild spring or autumn day, but it is thin for a cold night or a winter outing.
The thin cotton is made for looks rather than for fighting. Survivors who expect trouble usually swap it for pants and a sturdy jacket.
Its warmth and speed cost match the Long Dress exactly. The Knee-length Strapped Dress gives about half the warmth and wind cover, but it keeps full running speed. That makes the shorter dress the better pick for anyone who needs to run.
Because the dress fills the whole Long Dress slot, it cannot be worn with shirts, short sleeve shirts, pants, shorts, skirts or a boilersuit. A jacket, a coat or a sweater can still go over it.
Tailoring
The dress is cotton, so it rips into a Rag with the Rip Clothing recipe. Any character can rip it by hand, anywhere. Cotton clothing takes cotton patches when it is mended.

Notes
- The long skirt slows running, so the dress is a poor choice for scavenging runs.
- Wedding store racks are the most reliable place to find one.
- A worn-out dress still gives a Rag when it is ripped.
- The Knee-length Strapped Dress keeps the look without the running penalty.
