The Short Skirt is a light cotton skirt cut well above the knee. It covers the hips and the thighs. It is a cosmetic piece, worn for the look in warm weather.
It adds only the smallest touch of warmth. Its practical worth lies in tailoring. Researching it teaches a whole set of sewing recipes for skirts, dresses and pants.
The skirt can be dyed. It is a rare find in loose loot, mostly in backstage rooms. It is easier to make one by cutting down a longer skirt with scissors. The Tailor is the best occupation for clothing. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The skirt takes the Skirt slot and covers the groin and the thighs. It keeps the legs cool, so it suits summer. In cold weather, long pants are the better choice.
The Knee-length Skirt and the Mini Skirt are both twice as warm, though both are still light. Against zombies, the skirt relies on other layers worn with it.
The skirt cannot be worn together with pants, shorts, short shorts, skinny pants, long skirts, dresses, long dresses, boilersuits or full suits. Wearing it costs nothing in speed, comfort, sight or hearing.
Tailoring
The skirt is cotton, so holes in it are mended with cotton patches. Ripping it with Rip Clothing gives Rags. Dye Clothes changes its colour. Shorten Skirt uses scissors to turn it into a Mini Skirt, with a Rag left over. The same recipe makes a Short Skirt from a Knee-length Skirt. The Research Craft option on the skirt teaches Sew Knee-Length Dress, Sew Long Dress, Sew Knee-Length Skirt, Sew Long Skirt and Sew Pants.
The Research Craft option in the inventory menu studies the Short Skirt and teaches the recipes below.
