A '''plain dress''' is a type of [[shirt]] that appears in [[dNetHack]] and [[notdNetHack]]. Its [[Object materials (dNetHack)|base material]] is [[cloth]], and it appears as a '''dress''' when unidentified.

The [[Helm of Undeath]] is an [[artifact]] war hat.

==Generation==
Plain dresses are not randomly generated.

[[Killer bee]]s generated on [[Law quest (dNethack)|the Lawful Quest]] have a {{frac|3}} chance of [[Monster starting inventory|being generated with]] a plain dress if they do not generate with body armor.

[[Witch (dNetHack)|Witches]], [[apprentice witch]]es and the [[coven leader]] are always generated with a plain dress.

==Description==
When worn, a plain dress grants 0 [[AC]] and 0 [[DR]] as well as [[MC]]2. A plain dress also grants a +1 bonus to [[charisma]] while worn, with an additional enchantment-based bonus if you are not wearing [[body armor]] over it.
