In the 1960s if you wanted to wear something with a dramatic flare then you chose the work of Ronald Amey. He was known for his original use of fabrics and colors and his dresses were priced into the thousands even in the 1960s. His career was very short-lived. From 1959-1969 he designed under the label Burke-Amey. Joseph Burke, his partner, took care of the business side of things. In 1970s he bought out Burke and renamed the company Ronald Amey where he continued to produce his dramatic clothing until the label shuttered in 1976. His clothing was of very high quality and he incorporated many couture level details into their construction. All of his pieces were sewn in-house at his New York atelier

One of his signatures was to combine bold colors, prints and fabrics in interesting, unusual ways and this dress is a splendid example of that. The colors are bold and the mix is dramatic. The bodice and sleeves are sheer orange printed silk chiffon that is layered over the same printed coral ribbon silk that you see used for the skirt. This gives the top a very couture and quirky feel. The neckline is cut wide across the collarbones and it is anchored by a wide band of blue silk satin that is top-stitched in gold thread. This curves around the neckline and then down the front on either side of the notched front. The panel continues past the seamed waist and runs down the center of the skirt where it ends with a large diamond of the same fabric in brown. More of the blue runs around the hem and then is used again for the cuffs on each sleeve. The combination of the orange, coral and blue is spectacular . The heavy dose of all those prints, colors and patterns should not work but it does. The perfect finish is the wide fabric belt made of the same blue as the banding and this wraps around the waist where you can cinch it in and leave it simple as I did or tie it in a far more elaborate way. The exterior is in excellent condition with a note about the lining to review below.

Fully lined in a bright peach silk throughout except for the sleeves. Entirely hand finished. It closes with a front zipper and there are zippers on each cuff. The zippers stick a bit when you open and close them. There is shattering of the silk around each arm on the interior. The exterior fabrics are sound and show no wear at all. The exterior of the dress appears to have been worn very little. The dress is even better in person.

Not the best.
I purchased this based on all the good reviews. My husband has terrible issues with his skin on his hands cracking and I was desperate to help him. I don’t think this worked well. It didn’t help fix it at all. It didn’t have an odor but he was annoyed with the greasiness. It’s a very small jar for the price especially since we don’t really see any results and he has been doing it religiously.

Does not smell like honey.
I have purchased this tallow 3 times. It works really well on my skin! The first container smelled lovely...like honey, in the description. The next container did NOT smell like honey. It smelled like a beef roast! Amazon refunded my order. I waited a couple of months and ordered a third time. This container smells like beef as well. I get it, it's beef tallow. But when it is advertised as having a honey scent....problem!

Healing Salve for Eczema
I suffer from eczema, especially during the winter when my skin is dry. This beef tallow salve was incredibly helpful in minimizing the discomfort and also healed an area on the back of my hand, where the rash was especially tenacious. That was 8 months ago and my hand has been clear ever since. I will definitely keep this close and especially like that it's a product made in the U.S.A.
