Far too small in the cup, otherwise a reasonable fit.

Black colorway

OK, here's the deal. I have a way too small (but much adored) Curvy Kate Tempt Me, so while they were still available, I decided to get a couple of the bras based on that style. The Elegance and Wild are both one of those where all they changed was the color and the lace and called it a new name.

Anyway, here's the deets:

Pros:
Same fit as the Tempt Me
Pushup for those of us who aren't B cups (and I need it cuz my boobs HATE each other)!
Comfortable*
Has 3 Hooks (in GG+)
Minimal embellishment**
Low center gore for us petite and prominent sternum types (I'm both).

Cons:
* Earlier I said it was ... comfortable, and this is true...to an extent. If you are of the narrow shoulder, narrow chest variety (if I measure from armpit to armpit across my chest I'm just a smidge under 12" wide--that's 30cm for you metric gals) you will HATE this bra. The straps will start under your armpit and will try to twist out of it--it's hard to describe, but you'll know it if you have it. Other than that, the bra is comfortable.

** I also said it had minimal embellishment. This is also true, BUT the lace is a thicker lace, and it WILL show under tighter or lightweight shirts because the little loopies will bend or whatever. However, it is easy enough to remove if it's the only thing holding you back from loving this bra.

The two cons mentioned above are why I'm not keeping it. I also have a bit of that "orange in a glass" effect that I didn't really understand until now, but I could (and would!) have ignored it if it weren't for the straps being set impossibly wide.
