My wife, Christine O’Sullivan, who has died aged 72, was a pattern cutter and designer whose creations were sold by many of the top high street stores in the 1970s, 80s and 90s, including Marks & Spencer, Top Shop, Debenhams and John Lewis.
Her main speciality was nightwear for women and children, and one of her claims to fame was that she designed the dressing gowns used on stage by Ian Dury and Jane Horrocks in the 1987 play Road, at the Royal Court theatre in London.
