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.

Moisture and good price in one place
Size: 15 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: Professional Massage Cream, Almond, 15 oz.
This was a household must have for my partner who used nothing but the Helen coco butter hand creams. Oh yes, I had to use some occasionally as well. It is soft on the skin, has a long lasting moisture, he would use it right after washing his hands to get that softness locked in. There is no strong scent so is perfect for people who wants a good hand cream but not that loud scent. I used it all over my body for a all day moisture and shine. I used it in places that don't see the sun often but still needs much love and kindness too. The fun this about this product is they have various sizes so we have one in the car, one in my hand bag and they have the family size that the kids can use. I recommend that you stock up on these.

Queen Helene Makes Another Winner!
Size: 15 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: Professional Massage Cream, Almond, 15 oz.
Wow!!! I’ve used Queen Helene’s Mint Julep for years and it works wonderfully so I thought I’d give the Almond Massage Cream a whirl. The scent is yummy, I just love almond... give me a spoon I just want to eat it since it smells so good! The texture is really thick until you place it on your face/skin and it literally melts like true coconut oil. This is exactly what I was looking for — an ideal cold cream/make-up remover. For the reviewers/people who answered questions about “not using it on your face”. Please just enlarge the back of the tub and it states that you can. Here’s what it says: This luxurious massage cream soothes and moisturizes with the delightful scent of almonds. Use as a massage cream for the face, neck and body. I personally pair it with Aloe/Kleenex to apply to my face to remove my make-up in the evening. It emulsifies any last drop of mascara on your lashes or debris. Then I lather my face with a mild facial cleanser like Neutrogena. Lastly to remove any residual, I gently wipe my face with a warm/hot washcloth, this leaves my skin dewy soft! I love this product! This tub will go for miles. Also, I use a bit in my hair as well, just like coconut oil creating softness and shine. Excellent product all around, in my opinion!!!

Works great
Size: 15 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: Professional Massage Cream, Almond, 15 oz., Size: 15 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: Professional Massage Cream, Almond, 15 oz.
It feels and smells great on the skin. I use it every night for my facial massage. It can be hard to wash off if you apply too much, but it can be washed off with a facial cleanser. I always wipe it off first and then wash my face with cleanser. I love it so far. It's a huge bottle, so it will last a long time. Great value for the price.

Almond massage cream
Size: 15 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: Professional Massage Cream, Almond, 15 oz.
I’m using this product more than four years. But I noticed for the past year that it started to be less sliding… also I noticed separation of oil and cream…did they changed some formula? Still continue to buy this. Love the smell
