Wow, so. Ok. Lol
This bra is too big, obviously. It looks comical.
I have a half inch to an inch extra space on top, but the bottoms extend far enough for me.
I can't comment on wire width or much else, becuase the cups are simply too big for me.
The band in the 60, definitely stretches to 30. It's very stretchy, which I was banking on being as I'm not quite 28" underbust.

I do like the material a lot, and I'm excited to receive my 65G from Comexim.
Speaking of which, I recieved a 65F and this, which fits more like a 65H, both today.
The 60HH had cups too big ( at least on top), and the 65F had cups that, earlier I thought were only making me quad slightly.
I'm definitely keeping it, but as the day went on, I realized that the bottom of the cups were too small and makes the cups stretch (which someone pointed out on my fit request). I'll go into more detail about that later on my 65F Comexim Emanuelle review- being as I'm procrastinating with a project right now and don't have much time/ also feel that's more appropriate.

Because of the 65F being just slightly off, and the 60HH being probably an inch or so off up top, I have a much, much better understanding of what I need in Comexim. I already have the Basic in 65G on the way, but I really believe I need shortened cup height and a higher gore.
I almost fall out of my Emauelle, but that may also be because it's just slightly too small. The gore in the Basic looked like it'd be fine in a size down. I'm hoping that cup height won't be an issue in 65G, but we'll see...

I want to mention that the padding in both Comexims is very minimal, and "flimsy" similar to a Freya longline--not moulded. Others informed me of this before I purchased Comexims, as I don't care too much for stiff moulding, but I wanted to include that in my review. I love love love the padding in both my Comexims.

Anyway, yeah. I have tall "roots", narrow boobs and need projection. I'm mostly even, but functionally FoB. If you're FoB and think you're in between sizes- as far as I've experienced thus far, I'd maybe go for the smaller size because the two I have measure fuller on top. If you go for the bigger size and maybe if you have short roots or even long, shallow roots, try getting shortened cup height.

Also, this 60 is stretchy, but the previous owner mentioned that it's always been. I think I could easily wear a smaller band in this, but the 60 is comfortable to me (and now I'm even more worried about my 65G).

That's about all I can say for now, as this is too big on me so anything else might be inaccurate.

This bra is not owned any more

  I had the same problem with the Emanuelle.
  I think you're on the right track with the Comexim sizing. I have a Basic in 60H which fits well in the cup, but my band is *tight* and I use an extender.
  Anyway, it's a sister to 65G. I'll post fit pics of it tomorrow

• jlcl119 Yeah, it's so close!! The comfort is amazing though. Luckily I have soft tissue, because I think being squished a little bit might be uncomfortable with firmer tissue. Regardless of being slightly small, I forgot I was wearing the Emanuelle most of the day.

  I pretty much hang onto my VS because their material is amazingly comfy, but I think I'm about ready to let them go after realizing that more cloud-like, better fitting, and prettier bras are out there xD

  Anyway, thanks for letting me know! I'll look for the fit pics tomorrow :D

  Queequeg0925 They're up! They should be here http://www.bratabase.com/bra/dlufu/ if that doesn't take you to them it's a Basic 60H, mine are the run with the black Frenchie in the background.
  You can see in the one that the gore doesn't quite tack. It's usually closer than it is in the photo, but my arms were above my ears to take the shot. Also, the wrinkles are only there from holding my phone.
  I hope they help!

• jlcl119 Super helpful! Thank you so much :)

  I think it looks great! it's unfortunate that the gore isn't tacking :(

• You know, somebody mentioned on my fit checks that Comexim wires are softer and I may not get a tack from them. I think they're right.
  With the Ingrid and Irish Coffee, the non-tacking gore interfered with support and comfort after a few minutes and I fell out of both.
  In this it doesn't and I've worn it all day playing with an active 6-year-old, so I think they're floaters for me.

• jlcl119 I've heard that a few times also. I've been seeing that a lot with the Joy Longline, and idk, I think it might be worse because it's a longline without boning, and people say the band is looser. I think that can affect tacking?

  I'd assume whoever suggested that is probably right because the cups look good from the photos, and if you can be decently active in it, then it's very probable that it's the wires :)

• jlcl119 I just got my Comexims!
  The gore doesn't tack in my Basic 65G either. But geez, the cups are nice *_*
  Just thought I'd let you know- I'm assuming the wire thing is true :)

  Your Basic looks great on you! As far as the gore, I think it's nice. I get such a hard tack from my Ewas that the soft tack on the Comexim is a nice break. I just finalized my reorder of my Ingrid and Irish today, I'm eager for them!

  The Joys look nice too, but I think you can do better. Maybe if the HC is comfy keep it, but I'd sell the longline. Maybe even both then reorder....
  That's my unsolicited suggestion :)

• jlcl119 Thank you! :)
  I hear you. I have a Freya Rio, Fantasie Evie, and I think my Deco Vibe, and the gores can become really painful to me. The Basic is super nice.

  Good luck with the new Irish and Ingrid! I really hope they work out for you :)

  I agree about the Joys. I think I'm going to take a few days to think about it.

  On one hand, I really want them now, so I feel like I ought to keep them, but then again if I'm buying such good bras, they might as well fit right, right? :P

  I'm really distraught about the 70 band, but I like that bra more. That's probably the one I'm most likely to sell and repurchase though.

  And the Longline, I definitely think I need a fit check for, because I tightened the straps and it stopped the gapping on my right,but I'm still not sure.
  The wire width kind of bugs me, but the actual cup depth is surprisingly 8-8.5"
