Tried this one on in the store - did not purchase.

After all this flurry about Satami bras and the inevitable fit questions, I decided it was time for a trip to the store as it is easily accessible to me and I felt a strange sense of responsibility. LOL.

For those outside of Los Angeles, there are some shopping links and tips on my blog http://multifariousmommy.blogspot.com/2017/05/satami-bras.html

About me: FoB, narrow set, short/wide roots, sloped shoulders, 32F (UK)

I wear a 34G in Satami. Let that sink in. Size up in band do to the extra wide band = tighter band. In general, I could probably fit ... in a 32 band as my tight underbust is only 29 (i'm extra squishy) but it would have been slightly uncomfortable? Also, Satami doesn't make a 32H. Size up in cups because most of Satami bras (and most Asian bras in general) are all about the cleavage.

This bra features the low center gore with narrow wires (not overlapping like the custom Comexim but definitely narrower than the Freya and Panache ones own) so common with Asian bras. It also has high side wings and extra wide back band to smooth things out - great for those who are extra squishy. Fit seems pretty spot on. Comfy and supported. Also, tiny gap on my smaller side but that's expected.

Ultimately, this bra felt a little too "open" to me? Great for nights out when you want the girls to get some extra attention. This bra give me pause when approaching stairs. Or speed walking. Or chasing after toddlers. If you have soft tissue, don't even think about this one - the risk is too great.

There were some tiny wrinkles near the wires indicating its slightly too shallow but its small enough that I can live with it. Also, tiny gap on my smaller side but that's expected. I also tried this model on in 32F - lots of quadding.

This is billed as a wireless sport bra. The sales woman initially told me sleep bra. it's pretty supportive for a wireless bra or pretty standard for a sports bra. With one difference - the girls are not smashed together or against my chest. As such, its probably not a compression type of sports bra. It is however, very structured. It gives the girls a nice rounded appearance and dare I say it, a dash of sexy! I'm not convinced it'll hold up to a round of cardio but should be fine for yoga and other lightweight exercise.

My favorite aspects about this bra are: stylish design, hook and eye closure in the back (busty ladies with small bands holy grail!), and supporting the girls with minimal compression.

Tried this on at the store for all of 3 minutes. Did not purchase.

This is a Asian bra from the brand Satami - they specialize in "Shaping Bras". Shaping Bras are bras that do double duty to smooth out arm pit fat and back rolls through extra wide bands and "crescents" while uplifting the girls and maximizing cleavage.

I usually wear a 32F in UK brand bras but the equivalent in Satami was 34G. The bra fit beautifully. Center gore tacks, no wires gouging between my narrow set breasts, no unsightly backrolls, no gapping and no major wrinkles. Straps were thick and stayed on ... my sloped shoulders and the high side wings kept the girls facing forward. I did have a few tiny wrinkles on the bottom of the cup because I need alot of immediate projection but they were pretty minor. A few details to note. The side wings have at least 2 pieces of boning on each side. This combined with the flaps or wings inside the cups and their patented "crescents" ensure every bit of side boob is accounted for and brought to the front. The back feature 4 rows of hooks!
