The Strapped Dress is a long cotton dress with shoulder straps. Wedding shops stock it in large numbers. It fills the long dress slot and covers the body from the chest down to the shins.
The dress is easy to find and covers more of the legs than a short dress. Its main cost is that the long skirt slows running a little. It gives only modest warmth. The plain cloth can be dyed a new colour. The Tailor is the best occupation for clothing. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The dress keeps the torso, upper arms and legs a little warm and blocks a little wind. It suits mild weather. In winter it needs a coat or a heavy sweater on top.
The long skirt cuts running speed by about 7 percent. The Long Dress and the Long Strapped Dress keep the body a bit warmer, but they slow running by about a tenth. The Knee-length Dress keeps full running speed and covers the legs only to the thighs. The Strapped Dress sits between them. Survivors who expect close fighting should switch to tougher clothes.
The dress fills the long 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 become ripped sheets or sheet rope. Holes in cotton clothes are patched with Rags. The Dye Clothes recipe changes its colour.

Notes
- Wedding shops are the surest place to find this dress.
- The long skirt makes running a little slower, so short dresses suit a runner better.
- The dress can be dyed to any colour with the Dye Clothes recipe.
- An unwanted dress rips quickly into Rags.
