How much does it actually reduce the bust?

Vanity Fair rates it at up to 1.5 inches of reduction. The effect depends on your size and how the cups fit.

Does it work for DD and larger cups?

Yes, it is designed for C cup and up, including DD and larger, with two-ply cups for support. Check the size chart, since some owners say the cups run large.

Will the straps stay on my shoulders?

The straps are set closer together in the back and are plush lined to resist slipping. Several owners confirm they stay put.

Is it good under fitted tops?

The 4-way stretch back smoothing is the main draw for fitted shirts and button-downs. Expect a flatter, more minimized shape rather than a lifted one.

How should I care for it?

Hand wash or use a lingerie bag on a gentle cycle and line dry to protect the stretch fabric and underwire.
