I ordered this second Elena basically expecting to get the same customizations as I got in my previous Elena, but this is actually based off of the last Ingrid I ordered from January 2021. It is virtually the same as the previous Elena except I had asked for the arm to be cut in a bit further. Actually I can't tell much of a difference to see if this was done, but the armhole on this bra is not uncomfortable, which is great!

Requested customizations:
- Wire size: normal for 60H, 21.5-22 cm before gore height reduction
- Cup depth: add 1 cm to center of cup, total depth 21 cm
- Cup height: Reduce 1 cm, total height 14 cm
- Gore: Reduce 1 cm to keep original cup shape
- Move in straps and change angle of outer cup: I sent a picture but had wanted to reduce the upper portion of the armhole by 2 cm and lower portion by 1 cm

Styling-wise, the only difference between this new Elena and my previous one is that I had asked for the other Mimis in my order to be made with only one center bow instead of two, and this might have been why Joanna did not include bows at the strap attachments like on my previous Elena. The scalloped bow lace at the cradle is a little more pink on the new bra and more beige/brown on the older bra, but otherwise the trims are identical. Band on this bra measures closer to spec as the last one was a little snug.

The fit is identical to my last Elena bra, and the straps are not moved in as much as my last Ingrid or the Mimi Plunge from the same order, although the fit was supposed to be the same.
