The Short Dress is a light cotton dress cut above the knee. It covers the body from the upper arms down to the thighs in one piece. It is a summer piece worn mostly for the look.
It adds only a touch of warmth and lets nearly all wind through. That suits hot weather. Because it covers both the torso and the hips, it takes the place of a shirt and pants or a shirt and skirt at once.
The dress can be dyed. It hangs on clothing racks in many buildings, and it is stocked in tailoring stores and wedding shops. The Tailor is the best occupation for clothing. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The dress takes the Dress slot. It covers the groin, the thighs, the upper and lower torso, the back and the upper arms. It keeps the body cool, so it is best for summer. Cold days call for something warmer.
Other dresses are slightly warmer. The Knee-length Dress and the Short Strapped Dress both give a little more warmth and wind cover. Against zombies, the dress relies on a jacket or other layers worn over it.
The dress uses a lot of body space. It cannot be worn with shirts, short sleeve shirts, pants, shorts, skirts, long dresses, long skirts, boilersuits or full suits. Underwear, tank tops and T-shirts still fit underneath, and jackets go on top.
Wearing it costs nothing in speed, comfort, sight or hearing.
Tailoring
The dress is cotton, so holes in it are mended with cotton patches. Ripping it with Rip Clothing gives Rags. Dye Clothes changes its colour.
