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 I did my best to match my bra with what is currently available through their online store (BR-01309) https://www.online-satami.com/BR-01309-WG-White-Cotton-Blended-Lace-Demi-Moulded-Bra. This was a limited edition from 2012 called My New Secrets Flawless bra by Satami. All the major construction details are identical (from the placement of the lace and gathering on the cups, patented "crescents" and 4 hooks in the back). What is different is the type of lace, waffle fabric, ruffles along the bottom edge and unique removable ... lace on the straps.

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 VERY snug due to the extra wide band AND the duo layer of powermesh. I would say this 70 fits like a standard UK 30 band - band only measures 30" stretched! 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. The cups ARE premolded - with a built in pocket. Full band with 2 pieces of boning in each side wing. Wires are pretty forgiving - very similar to the ones in Comexim bras. I have heard they run a bit on the smaller side - cannot comment myself as these no longer fit. You may also want to size up in the cups for more/better coverage given to the plunge style.

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!
