Kickstarter will now collect your pledge with your saved form of payment. Next week you'll get our fulfillment survey (from a company called BackerKit). This is where you will choose sizes and colors, as well as where you give us your address. Please respond promptly so that there are no delays as we purchase materials and begin production.
Moving in the near future? No worries! We will also reach out to confirm your current address right before we ship your products.
As a reminder, here are the expected shipping dates for each tier:
Just the Nip - November 2020
OMG, Totes - December 2020

Good Morning, Frankly Fam! It's a beautiful morning here in Chicago. It looks to be a double update kind of day!
We wanted to announce that we are OFFICIALLY unlocking our two new colors! Because what's a few hundred dollars amongst friends?! If you love what you see, you can adjust your pledge to add an extra item in the new colorways.
We are down to the final four hours and it would make our day...month? year?! if we could hit $50K!!! Please consider personally texting one friend the link to our campaign right now! LOVE TO YOU ALL!

THIS IS NOT A DRILL! We are down to the last 48 hours of our Kickstarter campaign. So we are, once again, asking you to share our links.
We are so close to our $50k goal. Before you share, we wanted to let you know that your votes have chosen the colors that we'll be making for the stretch goal... Your winners are... Drumroll please...
Rachel Midi
Neck and neck were our royal blue vs. paradise peach for the Rachel midi. Royal blue edged out peach by oh-so-narrow of a margin.
EvaBodysuit
The ever so classic black bodysuit took off with he lead, and unfortunately dusty rose never recovered. So decisive, Frankly fam.
Let's get to $50k! Smash those Share buttons and let’s make it happen!
ONE WEEK LEFT! Can we hit our stretch goals?!

There's SO much going on in the world right now (when will we know who the US President is?!), so we will keep this week's update short and sweet! One important development to note is that we will now be allowing add-ons during the checkout process - wahoo!
Things are going well on our side. We ordered our 100% recyclable packaging (including 100% RECYCLED mailers) this week so that we have no delays on the shipping front. This even includes what we have started calling "vegan" tape - made of cellulose and totally bio-degradable. Here's a sneak peek at some of the other fun you'll find inside your Frankly delivery:
We are still hovering just under our $50,000 stretch goal. We would LOVE to hit $50K by the end of our campaign and offer YOU more color options! We also know that you are itching to see the Frankly styles on more bodies. We are excited to tell you that we should be receiving additional sizes from our factory next week. Regardless of whether the campaign is over or not, we will absolutely share photos ASAP!
Please share and encourage others to join the Frankly Fam now; otherwise they will have to wait until Spring 2021. Friends don't let friends miss out on deals like this. SEVEN. MORE. DAYS.
XOXO,
We’re Titillated (AKA Week 2 Update from Frankly)

Halloween is just around the corner. While Frankly doesn’t make costumes (yet?!), our founders are looking forward to consuming copious amounts of candy as they refresh the Kickstarter page over and over. Speaking of which, it’s been another great week for braless fans everywhere:
We crossed the $40,000 mark which means we are SO CLOSE to new colors!
We welcomed an additional 35 backers to the Frankly Fam
We are more than halfway to unlocking the Charlee! We know so many of you love this style and we really want to make it for you. If we don't get to it through Kickstarter, it will be available on our site next spring. Sign up for the email list on our website to get all the updates first!
What we’re working on now
This week, we've been sourcing all the labels that will go inside our clothes, as well as the hangtags. We are working with a team in Brooklyn to produce our care labels, using our own designs. Don't get too excited; there are only so many ways to say "machine wash gentle."
We also have been working hard to get the word out about Frankly, with lots of success! Check out our press coverage:
And, of course, we couldn't end this update without talking about going viral on TikTok!
To our TikTok fans: WELCOME! We are so happy you are here! Hopefully our Kickstarter covers much of what we couldn't in a 30 second video.
Sharing is caring
As a reminder, you can help us propel the braless revolution forward by sharing our campaign! We've got 16 days left to unlock new colors and styles -- we can do it!!
Here to support you literally and figuratively,
P.S. One of the great things about Kickstarter is discovering all the cool things independent creators are making! Check out a couple of our favorite apparel projects on Kickstarter right now:
Our friends, Oriana and Golden, over at Medicine Mountain Scrubs are on a mission to make the healthcare industry more sustainable one step at a time, starting with the scrubs you wear to work every day. The Alpine Scrub Set is made from recycled plastic bottles and created in partnership with a supply chain that shares strict values of ethics and sustainability. Designed by nurses, inspired by the mountains. Made for women. Check out their campaign CLICK HERE.
Our friends at Fire & Courage are currently running a Kickstarter campaign to try and save a U.S. Textile Factory with their Maker Shirt. For a limited time wanted to offer the Frankly backers a special promotion of buy 1 maker shirt, you get one free! Use promo code: FRANKLY when surveys are sent out and they will add an extra shirt to your order. These shirts are made in usa, odor, water and stain resistant and made with their custom fabric that has stretch and regulates temperature. Shipping is free for US backers and free for international backers over $100+. Any and everything helps the factory! To check out the campaign CLICK HERE.
