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.

Items works just as described.
great soap. Lots of suds, no lingering perfumy smell, and seems to last longer than most.

2 smell good, 2 not so good and it's made in China
These are interesting soaps. The inverted loofah sponge for the soap is in interesting idea. The black and green ones smell the best. They are made in China however so I'm going with a USA made one next. Dapper Yankee.

Exfoliating Scrub
I LOVE the smell of this scrub. Personally I love how my skin feels just a little oily after using it - it just absorbs with the lotion I apply after.

What everyone said…
Style: Grapefruit and Vanilla
It’s a lovely, greasy, salty mess and my skin feels so good after using it. Be careful so you don’t slip!

Clean ingredients, Clean skin!
I’ve been using this since 2022 & I’ve been loving it ever since! I really love the exfoliation you get from the scrub & the coffee smell. What really drew me to it was the clean ingredients. My skin feels some much smoother after using this! Only con is how much you get for the price. I think one container only last me 3-5 showers. Im also not the biggest fan of how much oil is in there because I simetimes don’t feel like I’ve gotten all the dead skin off, but it’s under a layer of oil so I have To wash my body again to get that layer of oil off to try to exfoliate and get all the dead skin off. Other than that, it’s a great product!
