What to say.
This bra technically fits. I get some slight quadding on my larger side, so that is the only visible issue AND I'm at my largest right now so you know, any other day it might not happen.
That being said, I find, just like my other 65GGs that it's just too shallow at the wire.
EM calculator (which I've learned overestimates my size by a ton) actually puts me at 70H/65HH (depending on the day). So there might be some truth to it that maybe I do need a 65H (definitely not 70GG) *although* I'm off the pill now (hurray!) so I think maybe over the next couple ... of months I will see some changes to my body and a 65GG will fit fine. However, boobs don't get unprojected (at least in my experience) so we will see how this whole thing plays out.
Anyyyyyyhooooow, BM Rubin is my favourite BM, looks wise, I just find it extremely elegant and I love love love the stretch tulle.
BM Rubin has standard BM cups, but I do find that in both sizes I have it's not as projected as my other ones at the wire. The lining is a little more rigid than some of my other BMs as well. Again, this bra is not a sister size to 70G. It feels smaller.
The wires feel like they might be too narrow, like I have some side spillage on my larger side? The wires are the same as my 70G though, like wire to wire comparison is exact same, just the 70Gs are deeper, so my guess is the wire width is fine, it's just there's no room in the cup.
So that's why I think it's not a sister size to 70G because this has been the pattern with all my 65GGs. In general when sister sizing down, this has been my experience.
The band on this feels tight but not uncomfortable. I think it measures a perfect 65.
Overall, I guess we'll just have to wait this weaning period off now and see what happens then. I hate that there seems to be a promo sale coming up cause I'm genuinely unsure if I should order anything--my wallet has taken about a grand plus hit thanks to EM and now I don't even know which size to order and wouldn't wanna just guess and hope for the best. On top of that 65Hs seem to be a custom size, so either way I'd pay more for it, sale or not.

See, I absolutely feel you on the wires being too shallow. I think that was my issue with mine too, although I decided to keep my 65J (haha) because I liked how it felt against my skin, even with the quadding. The band was fabulous too.
I also get what you mean about not wanting to drop more money on EM due to sizing inconsistencies as I'm kind of in the same boat. I was telling MamaPagan the same thing. She's being saying the same thing too. It takes one rogue seamstress to mess it up for everyone. On top of custom ordering sizes that you can't even send back, it's tough to WANT to try again.
Anywayyyy, I think it looks quite lovely on you. I see the slight quadding, but maybe, as you say, it'll correct itself a little after you're off your high tide.
