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

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.

A great sunscreen I have used for years!
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is a product I have used with great success over the years and keep coming back to. Neutrogena is just a brand I really have trusted since my teenaged years of using their glycerin soap. This product does not disappoint. It dries down clear and moisturizes your face in preparation for makeup. I really appreciate that it plays well layering all my products and makeup like some sunscreens do. I also love the higher SPF of the product. I feel like the higher the better when it comes to the damaging sun. There is one thing I do not care for, and that is the smell. It has a strong smell at first when put on, but luckily quickly becomes unnoticeable, otherwise, I wouldn’t buy it. If I had to pick one sunscreen for my face forever, this would be it.

Wears well under makeup!
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Package arrived on time. No damages and product was in great condition. Pro: Goes on smoothly. Nice coverage. No white cast. Is fragrance free--no weird smell. Washes off easily with a cleansing oil or balm. Great on my sensitive skin! Wears well under my makeup, and it sat well over my vitamin c serum, too. This sunscreen layers with other face moisturizer really well! Con: I can't wear it around eyes; it causes stingy/ burning eyes. But, I have sensitive eyes ( sunscreens or mascara).

Great product

Nice product. I like the pump to get a small amount. Glides nicely on my skin and no white residue. Not sticky.

* Horrible eye pain! * Made my face glow! Great for dry skin as a moisturizer spf
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Update* After actually wearing it all day reaction - I wore this in the semi-sun to the beach just to walk to shoreline, not actually sitting in sun or getting into water just a 30 minute walk, and by one hour in my eye started to swell and both eyes were in horrible pain. I had to go was my face and eyes as well as put in repeated cosine to help my eyes. My eyes even over night after thorough washing and cleaning still have a slight pain to them. This also clogged some pores and made me itch and break out. I think if you are going to be in AC and no hint of sun or sweat this would be okay. However if you are buying to walk around in any kind of sun this may not be it. For me personally I will be returning. I was hoping this would’ve worked for me. I love neutrogena products but the reaction to my eyes impossible to use for me. First initial opening and putting in my face reaction- Very light weight. Smaller size than I realized. Makes my skin have a sheen soft glow. I would highly recommend for those who have dry skin. If you have naturally oily skin this may have a little too much sheen in it for you all. It does make my face feel absolutely baby soft. I was looking for a moisturizing spf for my face that doesn’t turn my skin white or cake on and over my skin and this is great. I will try it in the sun today and see how it lasts and works. No white at all which I absolutely love. Feels great in my skin. Fragrance free has barely any smell to it which is also nice. Oxybenzone free. It is slowly drying into my skin which is nice. I do not believe it is water or sweat proof so you will have to reapply. It hasn’t hurt my eyes so far but I will update when I am out in the sun to share more feedback if this feedback isn’t the same. Overall very happy.

Excellent purchase

It seems like it's a small bottle, but it works really well and goes on smooth. It helps me look healthy and I'm 65 years old.
