Ordered this bra after reading the other reviews and it is truly one great bra!  I'm also a 42DD and have tried everything out there, with little or no luck.  This one supports and minimizes, and doesn't come way up under your armpits! Also the straps aren't so stretchy and don't pull down on your shoulders.  I ordered my size and the fit is perfect, doesn't make you look flat and is very soft and comfortable, and the straps stay put.  I just ordered 2 more!
