Roisin Cross Silks To create a look that no one else has – in floral-print furnishings, curtains or special-occasion wear – make a pilgrimage to Judith O’Sullivan at Roisin Cross Silks in Dun Laoghaire. Her astonishing array of silks, ranging from heavy Thai to floaty satins and chiffons, will help to you to make that next project a work of art. The striking floral print shown here is a combination chiffon and satin silk. ‘The satin gives lustre and allure,’ Judith explains, ‘while the chiffon is the delicate, transparent part.’ Depending on the task, she will often suggest supporting the fabric with a single- or double weight silk crepe. She can recommend any one of a half-dozen designers who can turn her silks into the most sumptuous one-off creations. Her premises, in 22 Crofton Road, Dun
Laoghaire, can be visited by appointment. |
