Lingerie from a Fairy Tale: Spotlight on Buttress and Snatch
Diamond Swarovski Set
Buttress & Snatch is a British brand famous for two things: 1) their vintage-inspired and completely theatrical burlesque style and 2) their commitment to making all their lingerie by hand in the UK. Founded in 1999 by Rachel Kenyon, Buttress & Snatch counts celebrities like Madonna, Christina Aguilera and Beth Ditto among its clients. Almost all the pieces have frills or ruffles or crystals or roses because this is lingerie that is meant to be seen.
Unfortunately, the company doesn't deviate much from the a traditional size range. Bras are 32B to 36D with a few E cups sprinkled here and there, and panties are S, M, & L. And this is definitely a high-end, luxury brand with the bras shown here starting around £79.00 or ~$120.00. I will say that for a handmade British label, I did expect more sizes to be available, but hopefully the company has plans to expand. (Editors Note: As of 2016, Buttress and Snatch produces lingerie in up to J cup and a size 22 UK!) My favorite bra is the Ballerina Tulle in black. I adore how it's just fancy enough.
