ABOUT THIS BRA
This is an old bra in my pre-ABTF size that I no longer wear - it is over 5 years old so the colorway is no longer available BUT it does look like they still make this particular model. I did my best to match my bra with what is currently available through their online store (BR-05816) https://www.online-satami.com/bra/t-shirt-bra/BR-05816-BK-Black-Lace-Back-T-Shirt-Bra?page=5 . All the details are identical (from the smooth cups and underarm crescents to the ballet straps and lace back)

ABOUT SATAMI
Satami is headquarted in Hong Kong and caters to that demographic. As such their bras often have features common in Asia, higher side wings to help bring the girls forward, pockets and/or padding to bring the girls up/together, and this brand in particular is known for extra wide bands (4 hooks!) to reduce/eliminate back fat. I particularly like the fact the gore is low and narrow - perfect for my narrow set.

BRA REVIEW
As mentioned, I can no longer wear this bra and so can only comment on the fit of the band and various other details. The band is fairly snug due to the extra wide band AND the duo layer of powermesh. I would say this 70 is on par with a standard UK 32 band. The bra does seem to do what it claims - smooths out the back and sides while pulling everything forward. Quality wise, it is well made. NONE of the 5 bras I have (from 5 years ago) are stretched out after being in heavy rotation. AT ALL. Lace looks like its in good shape with the only hint of its age is the pilling on the inside of the bra (again, mine were cotton lined - the new ones are not). The cups are molded and 2 pieces of boning in each side wing along with their signature "underarm crescent-shaped panels" to help reign in the armpit/side boob.

WHERE TO BUY/TRY ON
A word on where to get Satami. The largest selection is through their company website - which also offers bras on sale. While you can occasionally find bras on Ebay, they were few and far between (literally only 3 when I searched). As for brick and motar choices, if you are fortunate to live near a large metropolitian area with lots of Asians, possibly try the lingerie stores there. In California, there is a small chain called Personal Touch Lingerie that carries the Satami brand. If you decide to venture to a physical store at one of these TINY Asian run lingerie places, be forewarned about the possible HIGH Pressure sales tactics and VERY limited size selection. In essence, its possibly not much different than shopping at a regular boutique lingerie place! Ha!

  I did message back stating I did want to get in touch with their US based customer service officer. Seems like there is some interest here it would be great if we can purchase online at least!

  Okay, I called one of the local stores to get the low down. First off, the was the wholesale website. Try www.shopptouch.com

  Second, they can order Satami bras in your size of they don't have it in store. Shipping takes 2-3 weeks.

  If you decide to place an order over the phone, I recommend calling the Arcadia location. She spoke fluent english without the pushy sales tactics I experienced in store (at one of the other locations)..

• Here it is! Review of online store and size/fit comparison! http://multifariousmommy.blogspot.com/2017/05/satami-bras.html

• It looks like this bra is no longer made in D cups according to their website.
