Way too shallow of a cup. It feels like it's three or four cup sizes too small. Extremely shallow, has no room to hold anything. It doesn't fit me at all.

The cups are very shallow on this bra and the band runs quite big. It may work well for someone very little lower fullness and an all around shallower shape. I ordered in a size that was outright too small for me even in bras with projection, so it wasn't quite even close to fitting. All around though I think the bra is quite pretty and I wouldn't at all mind owning one if it came in a size and cup depth that suited me better, as the wire width and height were wonderful for me.

I bought this bra in 2 colours- black and ivory. I didn't find that there was a fit difference between the colours, both black and ivory fit very much the same. I wrote a longer review for the black one, and I don't know if it would be useful for people to have a second review stating the same things here for the ivory.

Me: Full on bottom, close set in front, splayed with wide root. Soft from breastfeeding two kids. Turns out VERY hard to fit in a bra.
I read this bra runs big and I'm glad I ordered a size up. I tried other Curvy Kates in 34E and the sheer lined ones were clearly too big, so I had hoped a 34E in the elegance was correct.
This bra seems to fit me ok, I might have the slightest bit of quadboob on the right, but my boobs are so uneven I might just have to live with that.
It's very comfortable and supportive. It makes my boobs look front and center and awesome!
The only thing I don't care for is all of the heavy lacy overlay, this is really going to show through my shirts.Updated on Apr 25, 2013 Flag this

Pretty bra, but for me it was quadboob and sideboob everywhere. Purchased NWOT from Ebay. never worn.

Probably should have bought a 38. As someone on r/ABTF mentioned in my fitcheck, it seems like my breasts are a little more full on bottom, and this bra doesn't accomodate it as well. There's some wrinkling at the bottom, as my breast tissue has migrated up. The cup/straps also are a little too wide for me, so that it cuts into my armpit if I move my arms forward.
So much better support than my old VS bras though.This bra is not owned any more

The straps adjust fully and are a perfect width for my narrow shoulders. The cups are a reasonable distance apart, and the low center gore doesn't dig in.
That said, this is the worst fitting bra I have ever owned. The band is huge, even on the tightest hook. Coupled with cups that are way too shallow, the center gore floats about an inch and a half away from my ribcage. The bottom of the cup is suffering from orange in a glass phenomenon, leaving many wrinkles, while the top digs in and causes a very dramatic quad-boob effect.
This bra may work best for people with large rooted and shallow breasts. I'm disappointed it didn't work for me.Updated on Mar 18, 2013 Flag this

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.

When I first bought this bra I was really happy with the fit. The band was snug and it even brought my boobs closer together for some cleavage! Now that it’s been a few months, my larger breast feels like it’s bulging out along the sides. It’s not really noticeable in the photos though.
Now I realize that I probably should have bought the 28F instead!This bra is not owned any more

Would fit if it were the right size. Bought it during my search for a fitting bra and I just don't fill this one out.
