Edited to add:
My thanks to Bratabaser jennyanni for inquiring after my band measurements in my initial review. I had overstated both stretched and unstretched measurements by about two inches! I have no idea why these two measurements were so off. Measurements have been corrected.

I like this bra--no I LOVE this bra for its high wings and wide band in back. No back fat! No back bulging, no grooves visible under clothing! Makes me resent how most bras create back fat when it's not inevitable. The low gore is a mercy, too. Unfortunately I chose a band too big and therefore the cups don't give me the slenderized ... front view this brand is known for.

Extrapolating from this one 34E bra, the only Satami I've tried, I will in future:
(1) Order a 32 band bra. I usually wear a UK 30F. This 34 band bra fits snugly on the tightest hooks.
(2) Order a 32G Satami. I hope the straps will be less wide-set in front in a 32G compared to this 34E. Satami doesn't use DD in their sizing. I believe a Satami 32G is equivalent to a UK 30F.

This 34E's cup width is 6" and could be narrower on me. My breasts are less front-and-center than I expected. I believe it's because the wires are wider than necessary. The cups are filled without gapping or wrinkling.

The wide-set straps aren't worse than those of my 65F Ewa Michalak 3D bras. I have MUCH LESS underarm bulging and back fat in the Satami. My Ewa Michalak 3D bras and Empreinte Irina Very Plunge bras allow an average amount of underarm bulge and back fat. My back is TOTALLY SMOOTH in the Satami.

The Satami wires don't come all the way up the wire channel under the arms. If I push the wires all the way to the sides, the wired part of the center gore height shrinks from 1.75" to only one inch high. There are two side stays on the wing, under each arm. These don't bother me. I hope the underwires being all the way under my arms will also be fine. If so, I can achieve a more comfortable 1" gore height. Satami has super low gore bras, but they aren't available in the 32G range.

These fit notes apply to wearing the bra without pads. If I include the pads, my shape gets lumpier. As it is, the profile is projected and almost conical. More importantly, the front view is not as slimmed down as I'd like. That's the main reason to size down to a 32G.
