May 3, 2024

The post questions the real need for "fashion basics" and "wardrobe essentials," suggesting these concepts are more marketing strategies than practical necessities. The writer criticizes the consumer-driven nature of these lists and prefers exploring the historical origin and sustainable application of wardrobe basics. Personal style is emphasized over fashi[...]

The Pink Edition

April 18, 2024

I had somewhat of a pink discovery a few years ago, you can read about it here on lovetomtom.com. From never wearing pink, it is now one of my power colours and a permanent fixture in my wardrobe. It seems there is no escaping pink when it comes to maternity clothes, much like stripes, but I’m glad to see brands are expanding the colour palette to incl[...]

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[...]

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[...]

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

Denim and I haven’t always been on the same page. For a long time it was black jeans or nothing. If it didn’t feel right, I assumed it was my body that was the problem.

What I’ve learned (and what I wish I knew sooner) is that denim is never just one thing. It behaves differently depending on how it’s made and that changes everything.

Some denim has stretch, which gives you that bit of give when your body is changing or growing.
Some is more rigid, which holds its shape but doesn’t always move with you.

Some is lightweight and soft, draping easily over the body.
Others are heavier and more structured, sitting away from you and creating shape.

And then there’s fit. Straight, relaxed, skinny, barrel. Not better or worse, just different ways of sitting on a changing body.

That’s why I love pieces like this.
Easy and no overthinking. The kind of thing you can put on and feel like yourself in, whatever stage you’re at.

There’s a reason denim never really leaves us.
You just have to find the version that works for you. 

What's your relationship like with denim right now?

I was twinning with my mannequin today in my denim dungarees and realised I have a denim pinafore as well. I lived in both pieces post partum and wouldn't be without them in my wardrobe.
Tell me which do you prefer, denim dungarees or a denim pinafore?

Is the colour black a staple layer or a statement piece? 

This H&M bodycon, ribbed maxi dress can be either. A versatile piece to extend your wardrobe or that sleek, feel good, comfy dress that makes getting dressed easy. You choose.
