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.

Outstanding Watch — Style Meets Value!
Color: Black Watch-G5010
I’m so impressed with this OLEVS watch! From the moment my husband put it on, he said it felt comfortable, lightweight, and classy — exactly what he wanted in a dress watch. The minimalist design is sleek and modern, and every time he wears it someone compliments how elegant it looks, especially for the price. The quartz movement keeps time accurately, and the waterproof feature gives peace of mind for everyday wear — and even rainy days. For a watch this affordable, it feels polished and much more expensive than it actually is. If you’re looking for an everyday minimalist watch that doubles as a dress piece, this one truly delivers great quality and style at a stellar price point — absolutely 5 stars!

OLEVS Men’s Watches Waterproof Dress Minimalist
Color: BlueFace-G5010
I got this watch for my husband, and it fits him perfectly. He’s retired police officer but still carries himself sharp, and this watch matches that classic, put-together look. The blue face is rich and eye-catching without being flashy. The Roman numerals and silver detailing give it a timeless, elegant style. It looks much more expensive than it is. The black leather-style band is comfortable and fits well. It’s lightweight enough for everyday wear but still feels solid and well made. The day and date feature is clear and easy to read, which is a nice practical touch. Whether he’s dressed up or just heading out casually, this watch pulls everything together. It’s a great combination of classic style and everyday function, that’s easy to set up.

Nice basic watch
Color: Black Watch-G5010
My father-in-law does not like new technology so when I saw this wat I knew he'd love it. It is your basic watch, works well and it's waterproof so very helpful as he fishes a lot! The overall appearance of the watch is really elegant; the watch itself is thinner than most which gives it a really nice look and I was really surprised at how good the quality is on it. It comes with the little tool to tack links out so you can adjust the fit and I feel like it looks nicer than his more expensive watches. So far, it's kept time well and he's been extremely happy with it!
