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.

It's a 7'cord Not a True 8' cord
It's a 7 ft cord the 8 ft they count is the actual plug unit which if you add that totals 8 ft at the very end of the plug unit. Again to clarify the cord only is 7 ft only. The USB ports are not that fast charging I still had to put my fast charger into one of the plug slots not the USB slot and charge my phone off of a plug. The USB would be satisfactory for things that just sit around on the desk. The overall size of the plug unit and the number of plug ports and USB ports is good for my needs for the price that they asked. It came shipped well packaged and on time. I think that overall it's worth the price if you keep the above things in mind that the cord itself is only 7 ft and the USB ports do not fast charge to the same degree that a fast charging USB plug unit would make your device rapid charge. Personally I feel that saying that the cord is 8 ft when it's only 7 ft and trying to include the plug unit into the length of the cord which by name they are totally different things is misleading and a false advertisement on the part of the seller or any seller that does their ad to the customer's disadvantage or misinformation. I was really counting on the cord being a true 8-ft not including the plug unit. That's how I measured according to my needs and it wasn't a true 8 ft cord.

Plug and play
Lots of plugs, USB plugs, and lots of room for plugs. What more could you ask for? This works great. Like everyone else I feel like everything is electronic anymore. Our house was built in the 70’s so our plug to room ratio isn’t so high. These are great to help with all of the items that need power. Great price, design and works great!

Finding a good plug strip without blasted usb ports
It was surprisingly difficult to find a good plug strip that did NOT have USB ports. The last thing I want on a plug strip that I'm going to stuff behind a bunch of monitors are usb port electronics that might die after a few years. I get my usb power ports from an Anker that I can situate on the desk. So, A+ ... this plugstrip has no USB ports! Yahhhh! That and other things I liked about it: * Yippee! A plug strip that doesn't waste space adding USB power ports that I will never use. * Very good plug layout. With all the adapters and misc plug types I needed to plug in, I thought that I might waste too many sockets with covering cords or adapter plastic. But it turned out that I was able to arrange all the plugs and adapters with very little 'wastage'. * Having two orientations in the design made a much bigger difference than I thought it would. Kudos! * And spacing out a few of the plugs also made a huge positive difference, reducing covering wastage from those odd-ball adapters that just like to take up a lot of space. The only thing I can dock this strip for is that I gave it four stars for sturdiness, simply because sometimes a plug would 'catch' on something inside the strip if I didn't push it in exactly straight. Not a big deal really, so I gotta give this guy 5 stars overall. -Matt

Great Floating Shelves
Color: Black, Size: 15.7 inch
I’m really happy with the WOPITUES Floating Shelves. The cube shelf design looks modern and clean, and the black finish adds a nice touch to my bathroom decor. The shelves feel sturdy and well made, and the metal rail is a great feature—it keeps items from sliding off and makes the shelves feel more secure. I installed them over the toilet, and they’re perfect for storing toilet paper, toiletries, and small decorative items without taking up floor space. Installation was straightforward, and all the hardware I needed was included. Once mounted, the shelves stayed level and solid. Overall, these shelves are both functional and stylish. They helped organize my bathroom while also making it look more put together. I would definitely recommend the WOPITUES Floating Shelves to anyone looking for practical storage with a modern look.
