Comexim is quickly becoming one of my favorite brands!
I got Coco thinking it is lined with beige padding but it is actually an unlined bra, which might be why it's a bit cheaper than other bras. It is black with unusual lace patterns (I'm not really sure what it is) and neon-pink ribbons.
The band runs tight, about a size smaller I would say. I measure as 26D and usually wear 28C for comfort, so I think 65B might have been okay too. The band feels firm, and I believe the top of the gore dug in initially because of the band. Now that I've worn this several times ... the gore doesn't dig in as much, only every once in a while. Vertically wide wings smooth out my back nicely. No sidebones though. The spacing between each hook is a bit wider than usual, so normal 2-hook extender wouldn't work. The straps are fully adjustable.
The cups are true to size and shallow-friendly, IMO. They are single layer laces with two vertical seams. The material is a somewhat stiff mesh/lace that retains the shape (i.e. doesn't go completely flat when laid like those lace bras from Mimi Holliday). Because of the pattern, the nips aren't very visible even though the bra is see-through. Also, for a single layer of thin fabric, it hides nips under clothes fairly well.
The shape it gives is rather flat, and you can even tell that from the stock pictures. It is round and not pointy. I don't mind this, but if you want more upfront looks, this probably isn't it.
Compared to other Comexim plunges I own, Coco doesn't have as much room near the gore which is great for me. The gore height is pretty similar to other plunges (Butterfly, Iris). Perhaps halfcups and plunges in this size range aren't very different? The measured cup width seems to be on the narrower side, but the wires aren't too stiff. When I wear it, the wires stretch a bit and fit me perfectly.
To sum up, Coco is an unlined bra that fits like a 26D. It is shallow-friendly and gives a bit flattened look. I love the fact that it is lightweight and comfortable, as well as its design.

Walmart has 2-hook band extenders with 1/2" spacing and 3/4" spacing between loops, so the wider one might work for you.
