“? ??? ?? ?????? ????? ?? ????? ?’? ???? ????, ??? ??????, ???? ? ????? ?????? ??? ??????.” —Aᴜᴛᴜᴍɴ Kʀᴀᴜsᴇ, ? ????? ??? ??? ??????A Dress for the Wicked gets ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 for me.Short Review: A tale full of wicked fashion, sabotage, and forging ones own fate despite where they come from.Long Review: Autumn Krause’s attention to detail blew my mind from page 3. The fashion and settings described were the perfect mix of wicked and whimsy that obviously appealed to me greatly. Her writing style was something I enjoyed immensely and can’t wait to read more of!Much of the fashion was inspired by Alexander McQueen—whom I LOVE.The Fashion House competition was reminiscent of District One meets Project Runway and Devil Wears Prada. Although I was enjoying the competition, I was glad Krause added another element to the story (not going to spoil it) to give it more depth and excitement. The sabotage takes a twisting turn and it’s oh, so good.I’m not a fan of heavy romance, but I do love love. Krause has a sweet unfolding love story that takes a (refreshing) backseat round Emmy’s life. Personally, I was relieved to see a young woman not boy-obsessed and able to burn her mark on the world without making decisions based on a man.The other characters in the story were intriguing without being overly focused on. I would have loved to know more about Emmy’s mother and actually guessed she would play a bigger role in the finale, but it was still well done and all the ends were tied up in a black chiffon bow at the end.Emmy’s reconciliation between where she’d come from and where she was headed—realizing she could confidently be who she always had been and still become a better version of it—spoke deeply to me after my personal journey over the last couple of years.Overall, 5 stars from me and a HIGHLY recommend.
