The National Wear of Dominica is a style of ladies dress which began appearing in the French West Indies towards the end of the 18th Century. It's design is believed to have originated from Southern France where the women at the time wore a similar outfit.
Dominica should not be confused with the Dominican Republic. Dominica is located between French-controlled Martinique and Guadeloupe in the eastern Caribbean.
The official name of the island is 'Commonwealth of Dominica' Dominica's pre-Columbian name was Wai'tu kubuli, which means 'tall is her body'... Dominica is referred as the 'Nature Island', where two-thirds of the island are home to the tropical rain forests and thousands of plant species.
