A ode to my Hairdresser

January 21, 2024

I booked myself in for a haircut recently and despite having my little lady nearly six years ago, I was taken back to a time where my hairdresser changed my life. Actually, she has done it many times. I moved to Dublin sixteen years ago. You meet a lot of people when you move to a new city. Most will pass you by, but if you are lucky enough, you will fi[...]

Mother dragon Chats

November 11, 2023

I am so thrilled to start Mother Dragon's interview series with an amazing women, Anne Graham, Physiotherapist and Women's Health Specialist. We chatted all things work, pregnancy, motherhood and of course, maternity fashion. I had the pleasure of interviewing Anne in the studio and you can watch it below or If you'd prefer to listen to the interview,[...]

TopShop

October 16, 2023

I was introduced to Topshop when I moved to London in my 20's and what an introduction it was; Topshop Oxford Street. It didn't stop there. Topshop became a regular fixture in my fashion evolution and when I moved to Ireland it was a regular meeting spot for my sister and I, catching up on the day, planning dinner and stopping into Topshop on the way home.[...]

Are you a Conscious Consumer?

October 8, 2023

I was so thrilled to see the maternity bundles were a hit and after selling out, it's time to give you more. While I was considering each bundle, I got to thinking about what this collection was really about, for Mother Dragon and for you the consumer. I kept coming back to those phrases we hear all too often like sustainable fashion, environmentally fri[...]

Bye Bye Pregnancy, Hello Baby

September 17, 2023

Preface I have not read this piece since I first published it on ww.w.lovetomtom.com in 2018. It is lengthy and messy. I immediately want to make changes but I’ve decided to leave it as is. To edit it would feel like I’m editing my experience and no one should do that. I want to share this with you so you can get to know me better, and I want to be h[...]

What are your measurements?

July 26, 2023

Hello. How is everyone this week? I want to talk about sizing. If I asked you what your measurements are could you tell me? Could you tell me in relation to how brands define their sizes? This is something I really struggle with and even more so now that I am two and half years post pregnancy. Before having my babies, I had a firm grasp on my style, my body[...]

Ready, steady, shop.

July 9, 2023

Here it is. Mother Dragon’s first collection of preloved maternity clothing. I’ll be honest, it took me some time to decide what pieces would make the first collection (decisiveness, at times is not my strong point) and I hope you like it.  My focus for each collection is to provide a selection of maternity pieces, in a range of preloved conditi[...]

Hi, I’m Jo Leggiero
about me

Hi, I’m Jo Leggiero

Hi, I’m Jo Leggiero, founder of Mother Dragon. Thanks for visiting my store. Whether you are shopping for yourself (congratulations!) or someone else, I hope my curated collection of preloved maternity clothes gives you the opportunity to rewear and recycle a range of quality secondhand maternity clothes. Most importantly, I hope shopping at Mother Dragon gives confidence and comfort as you style yourself during your pregnancy. There is nothing more fierce than a woman who loves what she is wearing, and that should be no different when you are maternity fashion. Jo @ Mother Dragon

Mother Dragon is growing! 🎉♻️

Some of you may have already heard the news, but it’s time to make it official.

Mother Dragon has always been about helping women dress the body they have now, sustainably. Listening to your stories has shaped every step of the journey so far, and it’s those conversations that have inspired what comes next.

Alongside maternity and breastfeeding clothing, I’m now expanding into womenswear.

I want you to be able to wear what you like, when you like, whatever stage of life you’re in. More choice to find something you love that’s already in the supply chain, whether you’re pregnant, postpartum, breastfeeding or none of the above.

And I’m thrilled to be introducing a circular element to the shop, keeping quality preloved clothes in circulation so one woman’s much-loved piece can become another woman’s new favourite.

I’ve been working on this for a while and I’m very excited to finally share it with you 😊

Is this just another boring maternity top?

Well, that’s up to you.

I think maternity clothes sometimes get a bit of a hard wrap. Comfortable. Practical. Easy to wear. And then what?

Because clothes are just clothes until you do something with them. Your body. Your style. Your colours. Your accessories. That’s the interesting bit.

Maternity clothes don’t have to dictate your style. They just need to work with the body you have right now. And honestly, I think that’s the whole point.

So, what would you wear with this top?

Hello, again! 🙋🏻‍♀️

I’ve been hiding a little bit lately. I’ve not quite found my rhythm since my fabulous summer holidays, and if I’m honest, social media hasn’t felt particularly appealing of late.

But sometimes you need a little break to remember the good bits and there are plenty.

So, hello again. Come and say hi.
Tell me what you’re wearing, what’s working in motherhood, what’s absolutely not, and everything in between.

Jo xo

One of my favourite pairs of jeans currently in the shop.

I love the shape of these River Island jeans. It's not trend-led or designed for just one season. It's the kind of jean that will stay relevant in a mama's wardrobe for years to come.

I know maternity clothes can feel like hard work  but your style doesn't disappear when you become pregnant. Your clothes should still feel like you. That's why I'm always drawn to pieces that are well made, comfortable and timeless, rather than simply designed to get you through nine months.

Pregnancy is just one chapter. Your wardrobe doesn't have to start from scratch because of it.

Can you guess which brand always seems to arrive in the shop looking top-notch? 

Even when I grade pieces from this brand as Good Condition (and you know how tough I am with my preloved conditions), I know they've often been worn well over 100 times and there's still plenty of life left in them.

Leave a comment and take a guess 👇🏼
