Myiahs Rainbow Dress is based on a true story of the narrator as she provides the reader with a detail memoir of her grandmother who was once a seamstress on the Island of North Caicos.

Myiahs Rainbow Dress is the story told through the eyes of a little girl who lived in the Turks & Caicos Islands during the pivotal ending era of the Salt Industry. As she profoundly displays her national sense of pride, the reader learns about the iconic objects that each of the individual islands have to share in its uniqueness, and its historical implications that is projected through the basic tapered colours on the National Dress of the Turks & Caicos Islands.

In Myiahs Rainbow Dress, the reader is exquisitely exposed to the wider Turks & Caicos and the other various outer islands that make up the graceful archipelago of the Turks & Caicos. The narrator highlights some of the countrys iconic symbols, historic sites and features that symbolizes her dress. The story wonderfully contextualizes the splendor and beauty of the tiny Caribbean island through the jolly brilliant flamboyant colours of the Turks & Caicos Islands National Dress.
