Tale of a Sky-Blue Dress is a 1998 memoir by Thylias Moss.

It is the story of Moss' life from early childhood, including at the hands of an abusive babysitter, an older girl in a blue dress, through to her marriage.

Booklist, in a review of Tale of a Sky-Blue Dress, wrote "This haunting memoir is also a delicate and thorough exploration of the nature of evil and the place of cruelty both in the author's own life and more broadly within the human experience.

"[1] CNN wrote "Tale of a Sky-Blue Dress starts promisingly, thanks to poet Thylias Moss' shining description of an idyllic childhood."

She also proves that what works in life doesn't necessarily succeed as writing.
