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.

Well made, with one issue
Size: 16 Women/15 Men, Color: Black/White/Black
Sandals are well made with nice arch support. Fit true to size (15). Only issue is that the front of each upper is thin and cuts into my skin just above the toes when bending the toes. No blood but a bit uncomfortable for long walks to and from the pool.

Super light and breathable, great for golf
Size: Medium, Color: White Golf Flag
I picked up the Obla Mens Golf Polo Shirt Dry Fit Performance and it’s been a great shirt for the course. The fabric is thin and stretchy, which makes it really comfortable and easy to move in. It breathes well, so you don’t feel overheated even when you’re out there for a while. Honestly, it’s so light it almost feels like you’re not wearing a shirt. The pattern looks great too, and the fit is on point, not too tight, not too loose. Pros: Lightweight and breathable Stretchy and comfortable Nice pattern/design Fits really well Cons: None so far Overall: Great golf shirt if you want something light and comfortable. Definitely one I’d pick up again

Attractive shirt and a great value
Size: X-Large, Color: Deep Purple Sunflower
Surprised by the quality. It looks more expensive than it was. It's an excellent value and fit perfectly. It's not boxy or sloppy, but looks trim and professional. The fabric is a perfect weight for Spring and Summer, and the colors and pattern are really nice. It laundered like a dream. With no shrinkage. This is versatile enough to wear on the golf course, or dressed up with a sport jacket over it. Great buy.

💲Good Value💲
Size: Large, Color: Pink Colored Dots
Purchased three in large, nice cut and fit, attractive colors/patterns, excellent price point, moderate weight material. From a few feet away these shirts look as good as a $100 polo. Under close inspection they are still nice but not designer quality. That’s fine, as the intended purpose is for golf in the Florida heat. Unlikely to shrink or fade as the material is synthetic. Economical and attractive shirts especially if you don’t care about designer labels. Hope this review was useful/helpful. ☮️

Great shirt for a great price
Size: Large, Color: White Golf Clubs
Love this shirt and ordered and received one more already. Also, lots of patterns and colors. Lightweight, perfect fit and collar holds up nicely. Has an SPF 50 to protect you when you’re out in the sun, even though it’s a lightweight shirt. It is breathable and has the quick dry wicking feature. Price is great. Highly recommend.
