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.

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.

The best thing ever for you and your dog!
Size: Large(1/2"-6ft), Color: Black
This leash has been a blessing. I rescued a dog several years ago and I'm not sure what the previous owners did to him but there was no way I could get a harness or collar on him. I tried and being that it's just me and he is about 130 lbs, it wasn't going to happen. I ran out of ideas but saw one trainer video where she slipped it on her dog while giving her dog a treat. That was a great and all but Thor has never taken a treat from my hand. I would have to put it down. Anyway I did and slipped the leash around him and it worked so smoothly. He was surprised by it but I praised him for it. I do this daily now because the slip leash is so easy to work with. I can't thank you guys enough. The quality is there and made well. If you need to train your dog on a leash, you can't go wrong buying this.

Good, heavy duty leash
Size: Large(1/2"-6ft), Color: Purple
I bought 2 of these leashes for my dogs after seeing a dog trainer use something very similar. Before this, I was using a conventional clip-on leash and a flat collar, and I found that my dogs pulled a lot. Well, my young and insane terrier mix still pulls like a freight train, but my older dog has responded well to this leash. It's been significantly easier to get him to heel and to move him along when he decides to spend an entire day sniffing a patch of grass. I'm sure my younger dog will calm down a bit when I work with her some more, and this leash will help. The rope is stout and it has reflective thread woven into it. I didn't realize how visible it was until a light shone on it. I wouldn't rely on it to keep you safe in low visibility areas (wear a reflective vest if you walk at night and there's traffic) but it can't hurt and is a nice touch. The rope is soft enough that it doesn't chafe either dog's neck, and it's thick enough that it doesn't hurt my hands even when the dogs spot a rabbit or squirrel and YANK as hard as they can. I certainly have no fear of this leash breaking-- it looks like you could tow a small car with it. This is an excellent, inexpensive slip leash to use when walking or training an obstinate dog.

Great Quality & Easily Useable!
Size: Large(1/2"-6ft), Color: Yellow
These are the BEST leashes, not only for new dogs that are training, but for every day usage. My dog is 40 lb. Bernedoodle and he is off-leash a lot of the time because he wears an e-collar and responds well to this. So these leadshes that slip on and off easily are terrific! They are great quality, nice weight, perfect length at 6 feet. I have several in different colors.

Fun
Style: Chain(Silver)1
This was really nice looking on my gf. It's a cheap pretty thing to wear. Of course you need to be careful as it's a little fragile being an inexpensive piece.
