Goodreads Synopsis:

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?

This is my second Project Runway-esque book in two weeks. And I've become such a fashion person lately, so I'm all here for this.

A Dress for the Wicked is about a Emmy, a start-up designer from Shy, a small town in the country of Britannia Secunda, who is chosen to participate in the Fashion House Interview. It's a competition in which girls all over the country compete to work for the illustrious Fashion House, a fashion company that has a monopoly on the country's fashion. Emmy realizes that the Fashion House is not exactly as it seems.
