My mom was key in getting the actual design to come together. She just helped me put everything together with the corset and gave me some great ideas for the bodice.

The strapless dress with fan-folded pages sought to reflect the identity of Hailey, who from a very young age has been fan from the saga of the fictional magician played by actor Daniel Radcliffe. Those books are very special to her, since they were her refuge and helped her overcome the difficult stage she went through during her parents’ divorce.

She was the sensation of the party, and since she arrived she left everyone surprised with her emblematic dress, for which she received many compliments from both her classmates and the teachers.

It was the craziest feeling I’ve ever had. Remember when Hermione Granger showed up at the Yule Ball as heartthrob Victor Krum’s date, leaving her fellow Gryffindors nearly speechless? It was probably a lot like that.

Shortly after Hailey shared on her Instagram some photos posing with her dress, her dress went viral and got thousands of likes and endless comments in a couple of days.
