Frankly Darling

On the Lookout: Frankly Darling (Found!)

April 6, 2009 by Rene

Debbie Sim started the label Frankly Darling. In the early 2000s, Frankly Darling was one of the key labels driving the next wave of British lingerie. The goal of the label was to be glamorous and British without being campy or trite. Debbie liked the bird motif in her logo and in her designs – often using the bluebird. These designs could feel sophisticatedly vintage. However, the volume from Frankly Darling was not consistent. The corporate site was silent in 2006, then came back only to go without updates for many months in 2007. At this point, the domain is no longer resolving. Here is a montage of some of the Frankly Darling designs from those years.

Just when it looks like the brand may not be around, I stumbled on new offerings at Be Cheeky. I emailed and received this explanation.

Hello Rene,
I have been told by our buying department that Frankly Darling are exclusive online to ourselves. Many thanks,
Sam @ BeCheeky Customer Services

Be Cheeky has a few pieces to choose from and the price point is very different than I remember. Knickers are under 10$ US and bras are under 20$ US.

Don’t miss the Figleaves Big Winter Sale

December 31, 2007 by Kelly

The Figleaves Big Winter Sale (also on Figleaves UK!) is still going strong! Get up to 70% off on the US site and up to 50% off on the UK site, with further reductions being made all the time. A couple days ago I made my order and got a great bargain – I paid $44 for stockings, a bra, and three panties by some of my favorite popular and reputable brands, which originally would have cost me $148. You can’t beat that!On the US site, there are Le Mystere bras for as low as $16.80, Elle Macpherson bras for $12.00, Chantelle bras for $18.60, Charnos panties for $6.60, and Hanky Panky panties for $9.60.

The UK site has Aubade bras for £23.00, Eberjey chemises for £24.00, Frankly Darling bras for £21.50, and Lejaby panties for £10.50. These deals are really too good to pass up! But you’d better shop quickly – these sales will only last as long as the sale items are in stock! I was stupid enough to wait too long on one of my favorite bras, and it sold out before I made my order. Don’t make the same mistake I did!
