A plain dress is a type of shirt that appears in dNetHack, notdNetHack and notnotdNetHack. It is also known as a black dress, which is the item's former name and based on its default color. It has a default material of cloth and appears as a dress when unidentified.

Generation

Android women start the game with an uncursed +0 leather plain dress. Drow Binder women start the game with a stolen and uncursed +0 plain dress.

Plain dresses are not randomly generated normally, though they can be found in bones or wished for.

A noble's dress that is fully eroded from exposure to light will turn into a plain dress, due to the armored shadowsteel portions of the dress crumbling away.

Spa shops in Elshava can stock plain dresses.

Plain dresses can be generated in the magic item vaults that appear within the Avatar of Lolth's lair during level creation if it appears as the second Abyss level.

Some monsters can be generated with plain dresses:

  • Yochlol are always generated with cursed and erosion-proofed +2 plain dresses fitted to their humanoid form, regardless of the form they are actually generated in.
  • Drow novices are always generated with cursed and filth-encrusted +0 plain dresses.
