orange and blue 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.

Perfect fit for 2019 Jeep 3.2L engine
Size: (Pack of 1)
No way to really know how a filter is doing without a close examination AFTER it is used, but then the amount of debris trapped by a filter depends on how much debris is generated by the engine. But this filter looks to be quality constriction and is rated to 15,000 miles using synthetic oil. The brand is well known and has been in business for many decades, trusted by many.

Excellent, well built filter at a low price
Size: (Pack of 1)
An excellent build quality filter, especially for the money. Definitely top three along with Mobil-One and WIX filters. However, the regular WIX/NAPA Gold has much better filtration efficiency at smaller microns. The WiX XP has much better dirt capacity than either, but actually has lower filtration efficiency than regular WIX. Both are better in their own ways than the Purolator Boss at a few dollars more, but this is still MILES better than Fram or Bosch or STP (or god forbid, SuperTech), etc. and usually the best at a low price on Amazon. If you run long change intervals like 7,500-10,000mi, spring the couple extra dollars for the WIX XP for the dirt capacity. If you want the absolute best filtration efficiency (me) for a 3,000-5,000mi interval, get the regular WIX/NAPA Gold. I don't recommend change intervals longer than 10,000mi, though I still use Mobil One Extended (best value, 20,000mi rated) or Amsoil Signature Series (25,000mi rated but expensive) for the extra protection.

Good OEM replacement, but check the contents
Size: (Pack of 1)
This filter was perfect for my 2020 ram 1500, however I had to get a replacement because the gasket was not included in the box as delivered. I contacted the seller and they replaced it within two days. The replacement unit had both the filter, and the gasket in the box it should've been.
