The Strapless Dress is a short cotton dress that covers the body from the chest to the thighs. It is everyday clothing chosen mostly for its look. It fills the dress slot, which takes the place of both a shirt and a pair of pants.
The dress is easy to find and simple to wear. Its main cost is weak warmth, so it suits warm days best. It comes in a black look and a plain look that can be dyed, both with the same stats. Clothing racks in many shops and homes carry it. The Tailor is the best occupation for clothing. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The dress gives the torso, upper arms and thighs a little warmth and blocks only a little wind. It is a summer piece. In cold weather it needs warm layers on top, such as a jacket or a sweater.
The Knee-length Dress and the Short Strapped Dress give exactly the same warmth. Longer dresses such as the Long Dress keep the legs warmer but slow running a little. Survivors who expect a fight should wear tougher clothing, such as a leather jacket and jeans.
The dress fills the dress slot. It cannot be worn with shirts, pants, shorts, skirts, another dress or a full body suit.
Tailoring
The dress is cotton. Ripping it with the Rip Clothing recipe gives Rags, and old dresses can also be turned into ripped sheets or sheet rope. Holes in cotton clothes are patched with Rags. The plain look can be recoloured with the Dye Clothes recipe.

Notes

- Only the plain look can be dyed a new colour.
- An unwanted dress rips quickly into Rags or sheet rope.
- A jacket over the dress makes it usable on cooler days.
