Hey Fossy,
BUt if your looking for a material shop in cork, I went to La Modeliste in Bandon and they have a huge range of stuff and are fantastic to deal with! Good Luck

Hiya,
I ordered the half yard swatch for matching up different things- the swatches are totally overpriced, but I think the half yard one is better value.
I'd rather order it directly from Dessy & be sure of the right colour if it was me, even though it's quite expensive. Plus half a yard is actually quite a lot. HTH!

Hi, I ordered the cravats already made from Dessy because it worked out cheaper than getting them made myself.
Through the shop, the cravats cost me €20each for 3 which was €60.
To order the material was €20 per yard & I would have needed 3 yards. And the dressmaker was charging me €18 each to make them. Which would have cost €114

Have you checked with your dressmaker for cost before you order?

the dress maker was chargeing 25 to make them,which is reasonable,the shop where we got the groomsmen suits had a very similar colour so i think ill go with that!!saveing me a good few ££££

Dessy do the cravats for £18 or you buy a colour swatch for £10 so u can match up various things for your wedding.
