Read my profile for a more in-depth description of my breasts. Cuz I'm lazy and don't want to copy and paste!
I read online (one source: http://thecurveshaveit.blogspot.com/2013/07/ewa-michalak-part-2.html) that the 3D bras from Ewa are scaled down to fit small breasts. I love Ewa's PL Onyks, and wanted to try more of the plunge styes and I'm near the top of the "small" range for the 3D, so I thought I'd give some a try. The 3D Satine is 1 of 3 I purchased, along with 3D Porcelanka and 3D Bambino. All three share the same basic construction, made with 3 panels (you can see in the ... photos).
Pros:
*The quality is very high, beautiful fabric. It looks like lace laying on fabric, but its attached (?), so its unlikely to get snagged on anything.
*The straps are fully adjustable fabric with a pretty design worked into them. The design make it a bit hard to adjust, but then again, the straps won't move from where you set them!
*My breast are close together (<1 pinky width between them), and the low gore is super comfortable.
*The removable "push up" pads are more like adjusters. I use one in the right cup for my slightly smaller breasts so they look even. Not "push up" at all, so don't be fooled. But it gives a great shape, no push up needed!
*Narrow wires (duh).
Cons:
* I have very tall roots. If I push my chest out, or take a deep breath, the top panel does push into my upper breast tissue and looks quad boob-ish. All 3 3D bras do this - I won't be ordering this style again because of it, but its a very minor issue for me for the Bambino and the Porcelanka. Compared to the other 3D bras I got, the Satine does this the most.
*The Satine has a much firmer band than the Bambino or the Porcelanka. The unstretched measurements are about the same, but the Satine will not stretch nearly as far
Summary: Super lovely, but too tight, and the cups are too closed on top for me. Sad day.
