orange 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.

Very well made but strong wood smell
Color: Trophy 3, Size: 200Pcs, Color: Trophy 3, Size: 200Pcs
This is a really well made puzzle. These pieces are nice and thick, the laser cutting is extremely precise, and the picture is stuck on very well to each one without peeling. There is an extremely strong burned wood smell when you open the box, but it's not a bad smell to me, more like a fireplace wood burning smell. Anyone that is very affected by strong smells would probably not like this puzzle though. I also don't know how long it will take for the smell to go away, if ever, but I've had this puzzle for 2 weeks now and the box still smells strongly like wood that has been set on fire. We haven't put the puzzle together yet, life is just been rather busy, but the couple pieces I found that did fit together went very smoothly. I like how unique the shapes are, and that there are the World Cup icons as well. This should be a lot of fun! It did come with a clear sticker to keep it together for hanging, but because of how that sheet was folded in the box, it'll have to be attached on the back or else there will be visible seams.

Official FIFA Product
Color: Trophy 3, Size: 200Pcs, Color: Trophy 3, Size: 200Pcs
This is not my 1st Woodlux puzzle. They are well made, unique puzzles with laser cut pieces that are very precise. The FIFA 2026 World Cup Trophy puzzle is no different. This puzzle has large swaths of solid black which would seem difficult, but the uniqueness of the pieces gives you more than one way to figure out where the pieces go. Colors on the puzzle pieces are vibrant. There is a slight fire smell to the pieces, likely from the laser cutting. I found the smell to be noticeable, but not overpowering. Could be a problem for sensitive noses. 15 of the 200 pieces are soccer/FIFA shapes. This puzzle comes with a cotton drawstring bag to hold the pieces, as well as a cheat sheet, and sticky clear sheet to lay over the completed puzzle to display it as art. The assembled size of the puzzle is 9.2" x 13". This is an officially licensed FIFA product.

Beautiful collectible FIFA puzzle
Color: Trophy 3, Size: 200Pcs, Color: Trophy 3, Size: 200Pcs
This a 200 piece puzzle. It is a very well made laser cut wooden puzzle licensed by FIFA. It depicts the FIFA trophy. I like that the pieces are really solid and made of wood, about 3/16 of an inch thick (5mm). They are very durable and there is no puzzle dust. The puzzle is about 9x13 inches when finished, a perfect size for wall display. The colors are bright and the piece shapes are really out of this world. The back of the puzzle has some related designs imprinted. It is shipped in a brown box with the gift puzzle box inside the plain box, so it makes a nice gift. Included is a draw-string bag for piece storage and a laminating style sticky sheet to secure the puzzle for hanging. It looks good and will make a nice practical game room collectible. This is a nice value for a puzzle collectible display piece.

Beautiful, well made puzzle
Color: Trophy 3, Size: 200Pcs, Color: Trophy 3, Size: 200Pcs
I am a big jigsaw puzzle enthusiast. It's the norm for there to be a 1000 piece puzzle on my dining room table at any given moment. This is my first experience with a wooden puzzle and I have to say I think I am hooked. This is a small, 200 piece puzzle, but it was so much fun! What I loved - *Let's just start with how pretty and vibrant this puzzle is! The colors are bright and it's print is sharp. *The pieces are beautifully laser cut and finished. No rough edges or burrs. *There are several specialty pieces, most are soccer related. What a great touch! *The pieces fit beautifully. *It comes with a pull string bag for storage and the items necessary to preserve and hang once completed. I am a fan and plan to order more of these fun puzzles!
