A Dress for the Wicked by Autumn Krause

When is it released: August 6th

What is it about?: Nothing much happens in the sleepy town of Shy in Avon-upon-Kynt. And for eighteen years, Emmaline Watkins has feared that her future held just that: nothing.

But when the head of the most admired fashion house in the country opens her prestigious design competition to girls from outside the stylish capital city, Emmy’s dreams seem closer than they ever have before.

As the first “country girl” to compete, Emmy knows she’ll encounter extra hurdles on her way to the top. But as she navigates the twisted world of high fashion she starts to wonder: will she be able to tailor herself to fit into this dark, corrupted race? And at what cost?

Why am  I waiting for it: A Dress for the Wicked just seems like such a fascinating story. Class struggles, dark secrets, possible magic [I’m not certain about this last one]? What else does a person need? I’m hoping there’s going to be some gorgeous descriptions of high fashion. I’m hoping so. I guiltily loved The Selection series, which was heavy on fashion and competition, and I am super happy about that.
