The Strapless Tarp Dress is a rough dress made from tarp pieces joined with duct tape. It is crafted clothing for survivors who need cover from the weather. It fills the dress slot and covers the body from the chest to the thighs.
Its main strength is that it keeps rain out completely. Its main cost is a little discomfort, since tarp is stiff to wear. It gives only a little warmth. Survivors make it by hand from tarp and tape. The Tailor is the best occupation for clothing. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The dress keeps the torso, upper arms and thighs a little warm and blocks a little wind. It sheds rain fully on every part it covers. That makes it useful for wet, mild weather. On cold days it needs warm layers on top.
The tarp turns away about one scratch in ten on the covered parts. The Strapless Garbage Bag Dress gives the same warmth and rain cover but stops only half as many scratches. The cotton Strapless Dress gives the same warmth but lets the rain through. Both crafted dresses are a little uncomfortable to wear.
The dress fills the dress slot. It cannot be worn with shirts, pants, shorts, skirts, another dress or a full body suit.
Tailoring
The Research Craft option on the dress teaches seven recipes. They are Make Tarp Tank Tops, Make Garbage Bag Dress, Sew Knee-Length Dress, Sew Long Dress, Sew Knee-Length Skirt, Sew Long Skirt and Sew Sleeveless Shirt. One dress is enough to unlock a full set of simple clothing recipes.
The Research Craft option in the inventory menu studies the Strapless Tarp Dress and teaches the recipes below.
