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.

This bra is not owned any more

  Giggle. "Chasing after toddlers...The risk is too great." I understand. :-) Thanks for your review!

  I had not heard of these at all. Thank you for the introduction and for the review!

  Soft tissue, check. Falling up stairs without a toddler in sight, check. So I suppose I won't seek out this bra to try on. That's a huge advancement in my knowledge of options, with almost no effort on my part. So thank you for taking on this investigative responsibility and reporting so thoroughly. :-)

  Lol @ "I felt a strange sense of responsibility." I know that feeling! I have ordered and returned a s---ton of bras - for science and bratabase!

  Thanks for your hilarious and informative review.
