Hello everybody! A couple of backers have pointed out while filling out their Backerkit surveys that I neglected to identify the prints by name, only a number. So here they are, sorry about that! I have not locked down any surveys yet so if this changes your responses, you still have time to update your survey. :)
1. Sunset Peacock
2. Blue Peacock
3. Grey Peacock
4. Purple Peacock
5. Green Peacock
6. Geometric
7. Katniss
8. Stained Glass
9. Unicorn
10. Gardenia (Although, apparently, they are poppies. LOL)
11. Floral Skull

Hi friends! Just a quick update- I've submitted backer surveys to Backerkit for review. They are going to take a day or two to look everything over, make sure there's no mistakes, etc. When that's complete, then surveys will be emailed to you! Don't worry, you didn't miss it! If not this week, then next! :) xoxo -Katie

Thank you SO MUCH for making our project a reality! Your support raised over $24,000 to fund production of our new prints! You guys rock so hard. We are so grateful!
A few things need to happen before we can kick off production and fulfillment. Here's a quick rundown:
First, Indiegogo needs to transfer over the funds so we have the money to make the rewards (this can take up to two weeks).
Second, we have to find out what sizes, prints, and lengths you ordered, and where we need to ship them. We will send out a BackerKit survey to collect this information.
We will give you a heads-up before we send the survey so that you can watch for it. You will not need to create a BackerKit account to answer your survey. The invitation email will contain a link to your personal survey. It is important to submit your responses as quickly as you can since we need this information to process your rewards.
If you need to change your survey responses, add or remove add-ons, or update your shipping information, you can click on the link in your survey email again or request your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page. (This page will only start working after we send the surveys out.)
If you prefer, you can just message me and give me your information, but answering your survey will help us get your rewards out to you quicker. BackerKit helps us save lots of time by streamlining the survey process, automating data organization, and providing us with pledge management software to make it easy to process your pledge reward shipments.
If you used Facebook to log into your Indiegogo account, the BackerKit survey link will be sent to the email you used for your Facebook account. If you have another email address that you'd prefer to use, please message me.
Again, thanks for all your support. We can’t wait to send you your #bestleggingsever!

Hello friends!
With 5 days to go, we are 62% funded! Your contributions have been a HUGE help to this independent, woman-owned business. We absolutely would not have been able to pull off production on this scale without you. I can't tell you how grateful I am for all of your support. I am SO EXCITED to get these new designs out into the world!
Today I am working on Purchase Orders and Cut Tickets! Now that we are close to wrapping up this campaign, and have a ballpark idea of how much we've raised, I can start crunching numbers. Obviously nothing can be finalized until after we've received the backers surveys, but we can get a good heads start.
What's a Cut Ticket? That's the order form we send to our factories along with the fabric. It tells the cutter how many pieces of each size/length/print to cut out, which direction to lay the fabric out, etc. The cutter lays out long panels of fabric, stacked up one layer on top of the other. Then they use a motorized rotary blade to cut out dozens of pieces at a time! You only get one chance to get it perfect, so that cut ticket is super important.
Roughly half of what's been raised will go towards purchasing new, extra awesome fabric, while the other half will fund production (cutting, sewing, and packaging). Because we are an established company, we already have things like hang tags and poly bags in stock- that means EVERYTHING we've raised goes towards producing the leggings themselves.
Once we receive the backer surveys from you, we will be ready to print fabric right away! You'll receive production updates throughout the process- I'll be posting pictures and videos from our production facilities, since they are right around the corner! Who doesn't love a peek behind the scenes? ;)

Hi Friends! With less than two weeks to go, we are 53% funded! You are all SO AMAZING. I hope you are as excited as we are about your new leggings!
Today, we are hard at work setting up backer surveys! When our campaign ends, you will receive a survey where you can select size, print, and length preference for your perks. Our surveys are being powered by Backerkit, which is a really great tool. This will allow us to do things like update your shipping info (in case you move), add a last minute impulse buy (in case you forgot to order something!), and just further assist us in managing everyone's orders.
We know that backing a crowdfunding campaign can be confusing or intimidating at times, so we are really focusing on making our campaign as seamless and hassle free as possible for you!
