Since last Wednesday’s finale programme on RTE One, we’ve been inundated with requests on the blog and on the Operation Transformation website & facebook from people wanting to know where Amanda Casey’s dress is from.

Given your overwhelming response, we thought it deserved a special mention! This perfect party frock from Fran & Jane on Clarendon Street in Dublin is an ideal dress for someone like Amanda.

Firstly given her age, it showed off her playful, youthfulness, not to mention her best asset – those legs that go on and on and on! The black bandeau is very complimentary to a bigger bust – the black acts to minimise while the pink belt draws attention to the smallest part of her body and newly defined waist. The scalloped cut fabric gives movement and catches the light beautifully as she moves. Fran & Jane have several stores nationwide (including Cork, Belfast, Kildare & Tipperary) so I’d recommend you contact your local store quickly if you have your eye on this little number.
