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.

All four functions
Style: WF-3820
Tested the fax. Copy. Print. Scan. They all work fine. There are other features it has but I didn't try yet. Not sure how fast it uses up the ink. I'm still using the ink it came with.

quality, operation, installation, ink, etc
Style: WF-3823
Works fantastic, had no issues with it printing or anything yet. Still using the ink that came with it, and I have printed over 100 pages already. Easy to connect the wifi to it, delivered within two days. Only problem I had was trying to figure out how to set it up with my laptop as the instructions aren't very clear on that and if you go to the company page and try looking up the printer it don't show it on the company page at all including using the model etc. But ended up googling the printer information and was able to get clearer instructions on how to get it installed and connected. Otherwise no complaints at all, print quality is very good as well. I highly recommend as we mostly use it for homeschool. So we are using it alot and printing alot! I highly recommend. Not to big and not to small. I love it!

Another Great Epson Printer
Style: WF-3823
This was a great price for a printer that has shown itself to be good print speed and print quality. I have owned Epson printers for years, and this works wonderfully for both home use and small business use. The paper capacity is good, and the wireless connectivity is fine--no problems with that. The weight is good--not super lightweight, but certainly not too heavy as it can be carried and moved with ease. Overall it's great. I have not used the fax function, but all the other functions work fine.
