What Running a Preloved Maternity Store Has Taught Me.

June 8, 2026

Running a preloved maternity clothing business, what do you think I spend the most amount of time on? Sourcing beautiful pieces? Styling mamas? Photographing new arrivals?

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

Straight from mama's mouth 🤰🏻

I asked this fabulous mama to tell me about her most-loved maternity piece and here's what had to say. And it's hitting the store tomorrow!
Can you guess what it is❓ 👀

Pregnancy and breastfeeding asks a lot of your clothes. Often function takes priority but it isn't everything.
Clothes need to be comfortable and practical. But they still need to be pieces you want to wear.
The best pieces quietly do both. They're the ones you reach for again and again without thinking about it.
The ones that make getting dressed a little easier. They don't pull, twist or distract. They just let you get on with your day.

Nobody needs 200 maternity pieces.

Most of us are trying to find something comfortable that matches our style, our mood, and the body we have right now

So keep it simple.

A small collection of preloved pieces, chosen carefully, described honestly and ready for new life.

That's what Mother Dragon is about.

Some days during pregnancy, getting dressed feels easy. Some days nothing feels right.

Dressing for the body you have now and finding pieces that are comfortable, practical and still feel like you matters more than people realise.
