Who designed the National Dress of St Kitts and Nevis?
What to Wear:
Light summer clothing may be worn all year. Dress is informal, even at elegant hotels and plantation inns, though you may want to dress up a bit for a nice dinner. Nudity is not permitted at any beach. Swim wear or scant clothing should never be worn in towns or villages. Also Light, comfortable clothing is best suited to conditions on both islands, where average temperatures rarely exceed 79 degrees Fahrenheit. Weather is dry and mild from November to April, so cool fabrics, especially light cottons, are usually most comfortable to wear during your stay. From May to October, the islands experience extra rainfall, and temperatures rise slightly, so pack an umbrella and proper rain attire if visiting St. Kitts during this time of year. The standard attitude toward clothing and style of dress on the islands is informal but conservative. While spending time on the beaches, swimsuits, short shorts, and other swim wear are appropriate, but these styles are not appropriate to wear in town. Bare chests and skimpy clothing are generally frowned upon while visiting shops and restaurants and even while walking the streets of St. Kitts and Nevis

It is claimed that Columbus discovered St.Lucia on St.Lucy's Day (December 13 The National Holiday) in 1502,through evidence suggest he never even visit it .English settlers in 1605 and 1638 were rebuffed by Caribs , but Spanish or Dutch expeditions may have been there first.In 1642 St.Lucia was claimed by France and fighting for possession between France and England continued until it became a British Crown Colony in 1814.
Changing hands fourteen times,prized for its beauty,St.Lucia became known as the 'Helen Of The West'.Settlers who were mainly from France developed a plantation economy based on our slave labour.There is still a considerable French influence in the local patois (kweyol),places names and French colonial style architecture.Today's population is largely of African decent Eighty percent (80%) are roman Catholics through most other Christian denominations are represented.
