Can't-Wait Wednesday: A Dress For The Wicked

Can't-Wait Wednesday is hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings and helps us spotlight upcoming releases we're eagerly anticipating!

A Dress for the Wicked
Autumn Krause
Expected publication date: August 6, 2019
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? - from Goodreads
So apparently this book is what happens when Project Runway is set in a historical fiction book - sounds awesome!

    I love that cover! It looks Cinderella-ish.
    Project Runway meets historical fiction... It'll be awesome or it'll fall on its face. I hope it's awesome!

    I remember reading the synopsis for that book, because the cover was exquisite. It does sound fabulous, even if it's outside of my normal genre.
