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 conditions and in a range of sizes. The odd time I may venture to a specific colour palette or patterns or even a ‘Denim Drop’ but even then, variety is at the forefront of my mind. 

In this collection you will find everything from dungarees to cigarette trousers, nightwear to one of my favourite maternity dresses. There’s a beautiful polka dot wrap top, brand new with tags and a t-shirt bundle that has been worn but would be great for laying or even those early days post-pregnancy when there’s more bodily fluid on the outside of your body than you’d care to acknowledge. If you need to see how we define preloved quality, click here to get all the information. 

Items can be bought individually (excluding bundles) but there is no reason for example why the H&M stripped long sleeve top couldn’t be worn under the Seraphine Dungarees. It is important to get as much wear out of each piece in your wardrobe and pregnancy is no different. Now you might find it a challenge to wear the beautiful New Look Tropical Swimsuit as anything other than a swimsuit, but you could always wear it as a bodysuit with a long sleeve top underneath and a pair of jeans. What a striking ensemble that would be. Although I would caution such an outfit in the later stages of pregnancy when you will always need to be two feet away from a toilet.  

Whatever stage of your pregnancy you are at, I hope you are keeping well and looking and feeling as fabulous as you always do. If you have any questions about the pieces, please get in touch at hello@motherdragon.ie.

Hi, I’m Jo Leggiero, founder of Mother Dragon.

I'm an Australian/Italian and I've been calling Dublin home for the past fifteen years. I love fashion and the power it has to make you feel incredible. Give me lipstick, coffee, good food, time with my two little fire crackers, Lucille and Remy and time with my family and friends and you have me sorted. It has been such an incredible journey, like pregnancy, seeing Mother Dragon being born and I'm so glad you have come to visit.

Jo

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.

It's not a new conversation, but as preloved shopping becomes more popular, where do our values fit in?
I'd love to hear your thoughts. 

You can read my piece 'What running a preloved maternity store has taught me' at  www.motherdragon.ie/blog

The heat can make getting dressed feel like a challenge during pregnancy, but it doesn't have to be.

Natural fabrics and looser-fitting styles can make all the difference, helping your body breathe and move more comfortably throughout the day.

And let's not forget about style. This vibrant coral dress is one of those easy pieces that requires very little thought. The relaxed fit, soft gathers and button-front detail offer comfort and style in equal measure, making it perfect for warmer days.

Stay well in the heat, mamas 😎☀️

If I were pregnant right now, this is what I'd be wearing.

Maternity jeans and a few pieces from my own wardrobe.

Pregnancy asks a lot of your clothes. They need to be comfortable and practical, but they should still feel like you.

The best outfits are often the simplest ones. The ones you reach for without thinking because they fit your body, your style and your mood.

Would you wear this outfit?

Colour analysis is everywhere right now.
We're told certain colours make us glow, while others wash us out. And maybe that's true. 

But is colour analysis a genuinely useful tool that makes getting dressed easier? Or is it just another fashion rule that's complicating the way we get dressed?

Personally, I think understanding colour can be helpful. But I also think wearing a colour you love counts for a lot, even if it's not in your 'season'. 

So tell me, have you had your colours done? Which of these tops would you choose?

👇🏼 Trend or useful tool?

Why are there so many skinny maternity jeans?

For years, the styling advice was simple: volume on the top, slim on the bottom. And what has more volume than a growing bump? So it makes sense that skinny maternity jeans became the default. 

But as trends change, maternity fashion is catching up. Now we're seeing more straight-leg, wide-leg, mom, barrel and relaxed styles appearing. In fact, they're often the first jeans to sell when they come into the shop.

Skinny jeans haven't disappeared and nor should they; they're just no longer the only option. And choice is always a good thing.

Maternity jeans are also one of the best items to buy preloved. The over-the-bump waistband makes them quite specific, and because they’re usually worn for a short period, many pairs are still in excellent condition with plenty of life in them.

Why do you think skinny maternity jeans dominated for so long? Was it the styling, the fit, or simply a lack of alternatives?

Exciting news 🎉

I'm looking for a new charity partner.

Mother Dragon exists because I know how difficult it can be to find clothes that fit your changing body, your style and your budget during pregnancy and postpartum. Every woman deserves to feel comfortable, confident and like herself during this stage of life.

That's why I'm looking to connect with a new organisation that supports women through pregnancy, postpartum and early motherhood.

You might be a social worker, midwife, doula, community worker, volunteer, family support worker, charity leader, or someone working directly with women and families. Or perhaps you know an organisation that would be a great fit.

If your work is centred on supporting women and your values align with Mother Dragon, I'd love to hear from you.

📩 Get in touch at hello@motherdragon.ie
