This bra makes me look like I'm wearing a push-up padded bra, but it's not! I get slight quad-boob, but looks amazing still. Surprisingly it fits underneath t-shirts well. the lace lays flat.

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-05879) https://www.online-satami.com/BR-05889-PE-Purple-Lace-Deep-V-Soft-Cup-Bra . All the details are identical (from the gathers in the lace to the ballet straps and 3 hooks in the 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 (3 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 is on the smaller side of a standard 32 band (much like Comexim? as it only measures 30.5" 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. 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 not premolded - 2 pieces sews together much like the Comexim ones. Full band with 2 pieces of boning in each side wing. As for the cups themselves, 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. Full fitting and sizing details avail on my blog: http://multifariousmommy.blogspot.com/2017/05/satami-bras.html
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!
