blue and orange dress Dramatic 1970s Ronald Amey Orange Blue & Coral Print Silk Couture Dres – Shrimpton CoutureIn 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

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.

Comfortable and Stylish Office Chair
Color: Black
The NEO Chair Office Desk Chair Computer High Back is a great addition to my workspace. It was easy to assemble and feels sturdy once put together. The high back provides good support, especially during long hours at my desk. The cushioning is comfortable, and the chair rolls smoothly without any issues. Overall, it looks professional and offers solid comfort for the price.

Perfect for College Students!
Color: Grey
I first bought this chair back in August of 2023. I used it nearly everyday for several hours. The chair just broke recently- the metal frame bent on the bottom of the chair (probably due to long term sitting and leaning to one side). This a great chair for college students looking for a more affordable but comfortable chair. The wheels move nice and smooth, the arm rests move up and down, and the back mesh of the chair is supportive, comfortable and breathable. To me, the seat of the chair is slightly bigger than a normal desk chair. It reclined decently far back and had a wide range of height adjustments. I just reordered this chair because I love it so much! I recommend this for anyone looking for a affordable, but comfortable desk chair!

This is the chair! Stop looking! You found it!
Color: Grey
Seriously, it's just a great chair. It's comfy, it works, it's well made and it's a fantastic price. I picked this up after trying a "criss cross" style chair that simply was NOT working for everyday, all day home office work. This chair is great and I love that the arms can go up, which turns it into a great art chair as well! The back support is solid, although it's not cushioned at all so you may find putting a little lumbar pillow will help (it hasn't bothered me but over time the elasticity of the mesh has worn a bit) It was very easy to put together and I've been using it everyday, for 8-10 hours a day for several months now. For price you can't beat it. It's also wide enough of a seat I can sit cross crossed.

Cheap and pretty comfortable, but poor adjustment functions.
Color: Black
Chair is pretty comfortable, wheels are solid and it holds height well. Biggest issue is the lean lock, even when engaged the chair does not hold an upright position, so if you're like me and prefer sitting relatively straight, this chair does not offer much support when doing so. Not bad for the price, but I would generally look elsewhere unless you don't care much for adjustment.
