The Skirt is a plain cotton skirt that falls below the knee. It is everyday clothing worn on the lower body in place of pants.
It gives a little warmth to the legs and works best as a look for mild weather. Its main cost is speed, since the cloth around the legs slows running a little. Any character can wear it.
The Skirt hangs on clothing racks in shops and homes. It can also be made by cutting down a Long Skirt with scissors. It can be dyed to change its colour. The Tailor is the best occupation for clothing. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The skirt covers the groin, the thighs and the shins. It adds a little warmth and blocks only a small share of wind. That makes it fine for warm days and a poor choice for cold or rain. Against zombies, the legs depend on boots and other layers.
It slows running by about 7 percent. The Long Skirt slows running by the same amount but is a little warmer and blocks twice the wind. Plain Pants cover the same parts with twice the warmth.
The skirt sits in the Long Skirt slot. It cannot be worn with pants, shorts, another skirt, a dress or a boilersuit.
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 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 Knee-length Skirt and a Rag.
The Research Craft option in the inventory menu studies the Skirt and teaches the recipes below.

Locations
The Skirt is a common find on clothing racks. Clothing racks in any building hold one about a third of the time, and pawn shops are just as good. Tailoring store racks hold one about a quarter of the time. Backstage racks, dressers and lockers turn them up often. Clothing stores, department stores and shoe stores carry a few. Closets, laundry rooms, bedrooms, attics and garages hold one now and then. The Shorten Skirt recipe also makes one from a Long Skirt.
