Teen makes prom dress out of Harry Potter series
<p dir="ltr">A high school student has used pages from the Harry Potter book series to make a very different prom dress.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Hailey Skoch created the gown from the popular books, saying the idea came to her after seeing a similar concept online.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The 18-year-old spent a total of four days carefully crafting her beautiful dress which, instead of turning pages, will certainly turn heads. </p>
<p dir="ltr">“I really wanted to do something more unconventional, and I’ve been obsessed with Harry Potter forever,” she told ArkTimes.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“I love to read. So I threw some stuff together and decided to make it a ballgown.”</p>
<p dir="ltr">She said it really helped to have the series playing in the background while she worked.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Hailey explained the reasoning behind using the Harry Potter books, which she said were the “books of my childhood” and brought her peace during her parent’s divorce.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Come the day of the prom, Hailey’s dress certainly had heads turning to take a peek at the book dress.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“It was completely insane because I just kind of entered and everyone was kind of doing their own thing. One person saw me, and then another.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“It was almost creepy in sync, everyone’s heads just turned. It was the craziest feeling I’ve ever had.”</p>
<p dir="ltr">After sharing photos of her dress online, Hailey was headhunted by several designers and photographers who wanted to get their hands on it. </p>
<p dir="ltr">“I was this shy, nerdy, geeky kid that was looking for some magic in my life,' she said. '[These books were] just such an inspiration at a time when I was so vulnerable and needed it most... I have such a great love for these books.”</p>
