SF Arlekin #1484*Custom style* in 60L

This is a custom SF style bra, based off the Arlekin CHP but without the daisy lace trim, and of course with the addition of the top stretch lace. I was given the option of black or white upper lace, and I chose Black since I felt it would accentuate the black ribbons nicely.

Price was 299pln which at the time of conversion equaled 88.16 USD not including shipping. The standard CHP Arlekin price is 179PLN, so this one was 120PLN above standard, ouch. This was even more than the custom SF Porto, which had an 80PLN custom fee, though a higher overall ... price. This was part of my VDay present from my hubby, so I still ordered it.

Now for the measurements:
All measurements are taken prior to trying the bra on to insure no figure is obscured by the body. I also take all flat measurements before taking the stretched cup then band measurements for the same reason.

The band measures 21.75” and stretches to a max of 27”. It has 3 hooks and 4 rows of eye loops.

Cup Depth as measured by:
1 Hovering the cup between the knees, then placing the tape measure into the cups without any resistance.
This measurement is: 12.25”
2 Placing the cup over the knee and stretching it similar to what a breast would, to the maximum resistance.
This measurement is: 14.75”

I feel these two figures give you a general idea of the minimum and maximum depth that the cup can accommodate, just like the flat and stretched band measurements do with bands. Since Bratabase only has one cup field, I enter the larger of the two, as it’s this larger number that determines if a cup is going to fit me or not since I am on the max end of the cup scale, but do realize that some may need the lower number to determine fit for their needs, so I will always include both figures in the reviews for full disclosure.

The cup height is 9.75”, width 6.15”, gore is 4.5” tall and 0.55” wide, with a wing height of 4.5”.

As with SF Porto, I was worried about the cup depth since it is smaller than most of my 60KK SFs that are too small. Yet just like with SF Porto, this one somehow magically fits. The gore sits 1.5 fingers off the gore, and the cups feel like a good fit, a bit better than the SF Porto. The straps are wide set, like all of them, and the base of the cup has the SF signature wrinkle https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" /> which is standard for the style so not a fit issue. Overall, I am happy with it, though I haven’t worn it yet aside for a few minutes for photos and fit assessment.

It is gorgeous and I do love the look!
