I wore this dress at 19 weeks pregnant to a 1940's themed Casablanca party and it was the perfect choice. I felt glamorous and fit in with the theme of the event. The dress fit well over my baby bump. The seams along my hips were a little unflattering because the stuck out a bit but  I think that I was the only one that really noticed. 

Wore this for NYE. Loved the metallic material and looser, comfy fit. This dress runs true to size. I tried both the XSR and SR and preferred the SR in the arm area (had a bit more room). The length was much longer than expected, but fit on my 5'7" frame with heeled boots. Great for NYE or a party or even dressed down with a long sleeve underneath for daytime. 

First of all, this dress is extremely comfortable and well-made. It can totally be dressed up or down. The material is light (kind of guazy) but not cheap-feeling. I belted it because it was a little long on me. It looked really cool (boho) with a chunky knit sweater when it got a little chillier at night. 

Now for the story! My fiance and I were at a party in Florida for NYE and this woman wearing the most amazing jumpsuit turned around and said, "thats a Leota dress! I'm the owner of Leota!" We exchanged emails and she's sending me a free Leota dress (her company policy for when she sees someone wearing Leota "in the wild")! Such a crazy story. Totally made my night!

PRO's-VERY flashy. Definitely not your "little black dress". Great for New Year's eve.
Going to wear anyway because unless someone is a senior citizen, a nun or pregnant, I doubt anyone else will show up in the same dress.
CON's-Fit is TOO loose. Need spanx because it just hangs there & shows everything . Added a rhinestone belt to play up the bling factor. Went as "Old Hollywood" to a Roaring 20's dinner dance. Definitely stood out from the crowd.

I wore this when I was 8 months pregnant for a black tie event. I had to size up because of belly and clingy material, but worked great when sizing up. 

It hangs nicely without making me look large since it isn't form fitting and I am naturally big chested, 36 DDD.  This will be a great "go to" dress for special occassions.

Sadly, I could not wear the dress because it was too long, so I returned it. I will definitely try it in a smaller size next time.


This dress is really thin and almost see-through. I didn't feel comfortable wearing it without a full slip, which I didn't have with me. RTR should include a slip with this dress. It also clung to my problem areas, like my belly pooch, and I think a slip would have helped with that too. It is a beautiful dress, but I wasn't comfortable in it and ended up wearing my back-up option from my own closet. It's also really long. I'm 5'5" and even with 2" heels, the dress was dragging on the ground. If you are very thin, tall, and have a full slip, this will be a great dress for you. Otherwise, I'd skip this one.
