  I'm so glad you liked the bra! Hopefully a 32E would fit even better - its not a difficult alternation =)

• lilcrasher Thank you!

  Four rows of hooks on a 30D?! That's amazing. I love the very low and narrow gore, too. lilcrasher , can you link to the page where they sell the very similar bra today? What size do you think someone who usually wears a UK 30F or 30FF should choose in this model? I want a bra with four rows of hooks and eyes as well as very high wings!

  I'm pretty sure its this one: https://www.online-satami.com/BR-02179-PR-Pink-Lace-Push-up-Demi-Soft-Cup-Bra?search=lace%20demi&page=2. I would say keep the band size (especially if you like it snug) and possibly go up a cup size.

  Thanks, lilcrasher ! This bra must sell well. They're out of all but two sizes. I'm looking at some of their minimizer bras as well. Satami apparently uses "minimizer" to mean the opposite of what American bra companies mean. Satami minimizers push boobs front and center so the torso looks slimmer from the front. Now I have to decide if I want to buy one of these bras in the available colors or wait until they restock in a beige type color.

• 1

  Yes! You are absolutely correct about the minimizer naming misconception! You can **gulp** take a risk and try one of their other styles... or search by size. I put up more 2 more reviews on the other bras I have from them if you want to check those out. There's also this one I found randomly online: http://estylingerie.com/tag/satami/. This was the only review I could find on Satami bras in english!

  These seem to have similar elements (4 hooks, arm crescents, pockets etc):

• i wish i could buy one of these to try, too bad they don't ship to USA

  I'm much more intrigued by this than I should be. (The wide band and low narrow gore sound really interesting.) Alas, at 30G/32FF UK, their D/E/F/G/H (D/DD/E/F/FF) cups don't go high enough if they run even a LITTLE small. And it probably would not work at all for someone who needs depth as much as I do. BUT I'm glad to see more options, even if they don't work for me :> Thank you for sharing.

• I think they do ship to the US.... They ship to aparrently every other country! The site says you need to email them. I went ahead and emailed them about shipping to US...I'll keep you guys updated on what I find!

  I think the wide band is for back and armpit smoothing. From what I've read, Asian lingerie in general promotes a very smooth silhouette because of beauty ideals. I wish this lovely band came on a bra in my size!

• lilcrasher i emailed them as well yesterday, we will see :)

• I got a tip to message them on Facebook for faster response. Here's the response I got:

• I did message back stating I did want to get in touch with their US based customer service officer. Seems like there is some interest here it would be great if we can purchase online at least!

• Thanks for the update, lilcrasher . I may call Personal Touch Lingerie to see about a Satami "minimizer" bra. Maybe they still have a pink or beige one in my size.

• i can not find any satami bras on Personal Touch's website?

• 1

  Okay, I called one of the local stores to get the low down. First off, the was the wholesale website. Try www.shopptouch.com

  Second, they can order Satami bras in your size of they don't have it in store. Shipping takes 2-3 weeks.

  If you decide to place an order over the phone, I recommend calling the Arcadia location. She spoke fluent english without the pushy sales tactics I experienced in store (at one of the other locations)..

• Do you have a referral code, lilcrasher ? I'm on the website now, and off to the left side as I'm browsing plunge bras, I see:
  Were you referred by someone?
  Enter code here:

  Instead of the bra you reviewed, I'm probably going for one of the plunge bras described as having "Low center gore." I was looking at this one:
  Cotton Blended Lace Demi Moulded Bra
  https://shopptouch.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=59_64&product_id=165&limit=100

  Only problem is this one isn't available in pinky beige or beige at all. I do love the jewel colors, though.

• Argh, why are these moulded plunge bras on the shoptouch.com website only going up to a D cup at best? Even sister sizing four band sizes won't work, unless the cups run big.

• 1

  They go up to G cup in selected styles. I just tried on a few at the physical store for you guys! Review on my blog coming soon! This is my fave thus far. https://shopptouch.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=235&search=2188
  

• Oh, and try searching for your size on the official Satami website. Find the model number for the ones you are interested in then search on the Personal Touch site. Unfortunately, the shopptouch.com site doesn't support searching by size.

• lilcrasher , what size do you wear in UK bras? I need the cup volume of a UK 30F and a center gore no higher than 1.75" though 1.5" is better.

• 1

  Here it is! Review of online store and size/fit comparison! http://multifariousmommy.blogspot.com/2017/05/satami-bras.html

  The 30D bra I have only measures 1.5" tall at the center gore. Although I think it depends on model. How does the 30 band fit? Would you be comfortable if it was tighter? If so, maybe try 30G or 30 H. More than likely though, a 32G would be your best bet. The 32 band only measures 30 (maybe 30.5) stretched. AND I had to go up 2 cup sizes.

• 1

  These measure 1.5" center gore for me.

• Thanks for the excellent blog post with detailed measuring instructions and Satami stats, lilcrasher ! It sounds like 32G would fit volume wise. So the 34G you said in your blog that is your Satami size is the one with a 1.5" center gore?

• Thanks for the excellent blog post with detailed measuring instructions and Satami stats, lilcrasher ! It sounds like 32G would fit volume wise. So the 34G you said in your blog that is your Satami size is the one with a 1.5" center gore?

• I own those 2 bras and the center gore did measure 1.5" tall - in a 30D. I don't imagine there would be a significant difference (if any) in gore height between a 30D and 32G. Definately avoid the tshirt bra as that measured 2" exactly.

• Given the unfriendly return and exchange policy at their US distributor (no returns, only exchanges within 7 days and possibly after restocking fee), I'll wait to learn how high the gore on your 34G is, lilcrasher . If you get a referral code from shoptouch.com, post it here so we can reward you for your awesome info!

• Hey, lilcrasher , I found a Satami 34E on eBay. It looked like one of the lined demi cups, similar to your reviewed Satami. The seller said the center gore was 1.75" high, so I bought it. I can return it within 30 days without a restocking fee. It's NWOT, described as not worn. I'll add measurements when it arrives. Very excited!

• the above comment by me was their email to me this morning.

• Thank you! I was going to say there was some kind of crazy disconnect but the Satamiusa.com site seems to be a portal to the Personal Touch site. It says PTL Global Inc at the top (parent company of Personal Touch Lingerie) and the exchange/refund policy is the same as PTL.

• Oh! There are NO PRICES on the satamiusa.com site! I assume this site is for wholesalers only?!?!?

• lilcrasher the website i posted is crazy cheaper then the Personal Touch webiste.
  and
  you have to "register" to see the prices, which are soooo much cheaper then the Personal Touch's webiste

• lilcrasher my post here explains this and the pricing
  http://www.bratabase.com/adventures/entry/15043/

• I caught the price after login thing right after I posted. The prices on the 2 or 3 bras I tried on were the same... ALTHOUGH they actually have a SALE section! Woot! Woot!

• that's so strange, the prices i saw on the same bras on PTL website were $50-$80!!! and found the same one's for $25-$35 on satamiusa site? weird.

• Hold up. I apparently don't know what I'm talking about! The prices are cheaper. The bra was a full $11 cheaper on the Satamiusa.com site. I am adding this new info to my blog now!

• Were you comparing the exact same style? I noticed that the satamiusa.com site lists WIRELESS bras first - which are in the price range you indicated.

  But this brings up another question. Satami-Online has style 2191 for $60.47 (not including the sale colors @ $36.97). Satamiusa has same style for $63.99. Shopptouch has the same style for $69.99. ALL PRICES ARE IN USD.

  Do you think Satami-USA will price match Satami HK?

• it's worth a shot, when i did a search, i put my size and listed lowest to highest, so all i would see are the cheap ones in my size.

• this is the bra i was talking about:
  Lace Soft Cup Bra Black and White
  $23.99
  Product Code: BR-01207-BW

  Nice! Looks like that particular one is on Sale. Yay! Or at least, it was listed in the sale section as well. Those of us with small band and large cup size have fewer choices as they only make small band/large cup in a few styles (think I counted 8 or 9).
