Breda butler tops the style stakes and is crowned tipperarys best dressed lady by celebrity judge nadia forde
Tipperary Racecourse hosted their annual Ladies Day sponsored by Kumari-Doyle Fine Jewels and celebrity judge Nadia Forde was on hand to select Breda Butler as the Best Dressed Lady.
Breda from Kilcommon, Thurles is a secondary school teacher and wore a floral purple dress from ASOS, a pearl beaded neckpiece from Marion Murphy Cooney and headpiece from Sophie Hunter Millinary. Her shoes were Amy Huberman and her bag was her wedding bag and aptly she celebrates her third-year anniversary this week.
Breda received a Kumari-Doyle pendant valued at €2800 and €500 cash and the nine runners-up each received a €100 voucher for Kumari-Doyle and a pair of tickets for Longines Irish Champions Weekend.
Over 100 ladies were invited to a champagne reception in the Ladies Day Marquee, where Nadia had the unenviable task of short-listing her 10 finalists and picking the eventual winner.
Kumari-Doyle Jewellers opened its doors in Thurles almost 4 years ago and has now established itself as one of the top jewellers not only in Thurles but in Tipperary. Kumari-Doyle specialise in all aspects of jewellery and have a large selection of custom designed jewellery.
A delighted Breda said: “I am so shocked to have won, this is my first time entering a Best Dressed Lady competition and I just love fashion and style so I am absolutely thrilled to have been chosen.”
Nadia Forde commented: “I had such a difficult decision to choose the Best Dressed Lady all the ladies looked amazing. Breda’s bag from her wedding day is what cinched it for me. I had a great day and huge congratulations to all the finalists.”
Danu Kumari-Doyle from Kumari-Doyle Jewels said: “We had a great day and were delighted to see all the ladies dress up despite the rain. There was some amazing fashion on show here today and we really enjoyed our day.”
Andrew Hogan Manager of Tipperary Racecourse said: “I was delighted with the turnout of ladies today for the competition and I am extremely grateful to our sponsor Kumari-Doyle Jewellers who provided our winner and runners up with such generous prizes. I would also like to thank our judge Nadia Forde who had the difficult task of selecting the Best Dressed.”
