"As a Costume Designer, fabric often maketh the garment. I research and collect fabric worldwide, both new and antique. It is wonderful to have Roisin Cross Silks on my doorstep and I have used her superb fabrics on both The Tudors and Camelot. Three Emmys later, I and my team would agree that high quality fabrics have made an important contribution to the success of these projects."

"The wedding dress was made by a fabulous designer Ann Flavin who is based in Roisin Cross Silks, Dún Laoghaire, Dublin. Ann worked with my ideas, suggested a few of her own and designed a simple and elegant style. The dress was silk crepe with an overlay of silk chiffon and hand sewn crystals to match the design of my head-dress, I wore a silk bolero over the dress. All the silk came from Roisin Cross Silks. The head-dress was ordered from the glitzy Untamed Petals.

It's owner, Judith O'Sullivan has a wonderful ability of choosing exceptional quality silk's on her trips to the far east that provide her clients an eclectic mix of classic through to cutting edge designs. From Silk Dupion to Dutchess Silk Satin, from Organza to Silk Velvet,
this Crofton Road location is home to the silk lover's paradise and the cherry on the top has to be the excellent prices.
Judith offers a full service in a relaxed environment - expert advice, a high end quality product with low end prices and unlike her competitiors, all silks are in store. They can be seen and touched up close and personal, and taken away on the day of purchase. So goodbye to ordering silk from pictures or factor samples, say goodbye to extortionate silk prices and say goodbye to old fashioned silks - Roisin Cross Silks has raised the bar and is providing spectacular silks to a savvy band of loyal clients and a growing number of enthusiastic newbies by the new time.
I would be delighted to recommend Judith, and Roisin CRoss Silks, to anybody looking for the perfect fabric from anything from a dream wedding dress, a stunning suit to luxurious home furnishing's!

"Over the last year with the help of Judith at RCS and my dress maker Jean Poutch, I now have a great capsule wardrobe. Being made of silk, everything packs and survives long haul really well, and given the weight restrictions when flying, the versatility of silk from dupion to crepe for summer and winter triumphs. Now I've discovered the joy and creativity of silk, clothes have become exciting again! If you combine the excellent pricing at Roisin Cross Silks with a talented dress maker, you can have something quite unique that you won't feel guilty about - and that has to be good!"

"Silk creates a buzz and ignites a subliminal storm of sumptuous notions, and with Roisin Cross at our doorsteps it is easy to see why this extraordinary fabric continues to excite its adoring followers"

"We are extremely fussy when it comes to the quality of the fabrics we use. We spend a huge amount of our time sourcing and looking into suppliers and products. It was a real joy to discover Rosin Cross Silks. We are now completely hooked. We have used her silk velvet for upholstery, her dupions for curtains, her taffetas and heavy Thai silks for headboards and cushions. But our favourite has to be the printed silks. We just fell in love with them as soon as we saw them. The patterns are so delicate - the fabric works wonderfully in a roman blind as it looks just like a wall hanging."

""I have being buying silk from Roisin Cross Silks for over twenty eight years now. I find they provide a conprehensive collection of different types of silk in a wonderful range of colour tones, suitable for every complexion. I specialise in Wedding and Special Occasion Gowns. Over the years Roisin Cross Silks have always looked after me in a professional and friendly way. On the rare occasion when I needed to collect my order outside normal office hours, they have been very accommodating.
Recently when Roisin herself retired, the business was taken over by Judith O'Sullivan, who I am delighted to say carries on her predecessor's high standard of business practice. In addition Roisin Cross Silks has expanded, and now offers a New Interior Design - Home Furnishing Silk Collection, which is just "Pure Luxury".
In our time of "High Tech, Impersonal, Remote, Business Environment", it is nice, when we need to select something personally for that "Special Occasion" to know, at Roisin Cross Silks, we are speaking personally to a professional who knows about Silk Fabrics, who is there in person to advise and help, and who cares that we make the right choice for our own personal Special Occasion.
I would highly recommend a visit to Roisin Cross Silks to anyone looking for something exquisite and unique for their Wedding, Special Occasion, or Home.."
