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.

Great buy, soft, fluffy, great colors, warm, fun!
Color: Purple, Size: Queen(90"x90")
This is a very very soft queen blanket, just what I wanted. The dark purple color is what I wanted as well. As I put it on the bed the 1st time I noticed a lot of "fluff" in the air & on the sheets. So I washed it just to a)get the extra "fluff" off and b) to get the bubble effect more fluffy. It came vacuum packed and wasn't as fluffed up as I'd hoped. So, It washed beautifully and I put it in the dryer with 4 wool balls & scent drops I'd also ordered from Amazon. I used this instead of a softener sheet because I read that the wool balls make laundry softer, static free and smelling fresh & in the case of this typeblanket or throw, fluffier. The blanket came out of the dryer perfect! Much softer, much fluffier - you could really notice the bubbles - and there wasn't much lint in the lint catcher, but it was enough to stop it from shedding little fluffy bits! I have this blanket on my bed now. It's warm, lightweight, and the bubbles and color make me smile when I look at it. Very happy with purchase!

Small and so cute
This blanket is so cute and perfect for adding a cozy touch to any space! The color is a rich, warm brown that looks great with my other decor. It’s small, but that’s what makes it perfect as an accent piece—it looks amazing draped over a chair or folded on a shelf. The material feels soft and high-quality. It didn’t have any weird smell after opening it. I would say it should be used more for decoration than everyday use. It adds just the right amount of texture without being bulky or taking up too much space. Works perfect as a drape over side of bed, chair, or blanket ladder. For the price, I think it’s a great find. It’s stylish, simple, and really ties the room together. If you’re looking for an affordable way to elevate your decor, this is it!

Cheap material
Color: Ivory, Size: Throw(50"x60")
Does not look like product pictures. Different design and texture. Kept anyway because I chose more for color. After washing a couple of times, these blankets appear VERY worn. They're thinner than preferred and don't wear well. A cheap product for a cheap price. The color was as expected though.

Comfy but thin-ish blanket
Color: Pink, Size: Throw(50"x60")
My friend loved receiving this blanket for her birthday. The color is very true to the picture and makes a great addition to any gift basket. However, it is a little bit on the thin side.
