I have a unique body type. I’m very tiny and by that I mean all of me. Finding a bra that fits properly was always a huge challenge. And then my friend mentioned Kiss & Make-Up and Ruth’s wonderful service! Ruth spent considerable time measuring me and finding a bra that fit me perfectly! I tried on several and she adjusted and advised on how to assure a proper fit. I had been wearing a 32 B bra for most of my adult life. She fitted me in a 30 D. Yes you read that right! It felt so comfortable and I wasn’t constantly pulling at it. I wore it home it felt so good! I realized hours after I got home I was still wearing my bra comfortably; typically my bra was the first thing I took off after arriving at home because they were always so uncomfortable. But not anymore! Since that first day I’ve brought my daughter and several friends to Ruth and they enjoyed the same wonderful experience and success as I had. None of us would shop for a bra anywhere else! I drive 70 miles each way to shop at Kiss & Make-Up when I want a new style, but I also can reorder by telephone and Ruth ships new bras to my house. She has changed my life by fitting me in a high quality bra designed perfectly for my body style. When you browse the store you will find that Ruth can fit the body style of ANY woman of any shape or size. She is “The Queen of the Brassiere”!

Its pretty much impossible for me to say how much I truly adore shopping at Kiss & Make Up. This is the best lingerie shop I have ever been to, not only because of the impressive selection - and it is impressive - but also because of the owner, Ruth, who goes above and beyond to ensure you are both fitted properly and feeling beautiful. Ruth carries lingerie to fit every conceivable size. Many shops claim they can fit large or unusual sizes, but this one actually makes good on that promise. Not only that, options are far from utilitarian only - at Kiss & Make Up you will find beautiful, fun and daring pieces in your size. I have a very large bust and have never felt prettier, and was even able to find a strapless bra that ACTUALLY WORKS thanks to Ruth. The pieces are also of extremely high quality and will really last, which is fantastic. I cannot possibly recommend this store highly enough. Whether you need something for a special occasion or just something that will make you feel good every day, this is the place you need to go!

I used to have a VERY hard time finding a bra that fit. Everyone claims to do bra fittings but I never got good results from the fittings I had (even from the chain stores that claimed they had the "Secret"). Then, one day I walked into Kiss & Make-Up and Ruth took one look at me, made an educated guess as to what size I would be. She gave me a good fitting and an education about bras. I walked out of that store completely happy. I had knowledge of what size I actually was, a great fitting bra that made me feel comfortable, I looked better and felt better. Ever since that day, I have been a LOYAL customer for any of my intimate apparel needs. One day I even bought a corset and left the store wearing it. THANKS RUTH!, for everything you do, I no longer feel like I need to have surgery to reduce my bust size. I look great in everything I have bought from you.

Right before my honeymoon, Ruth spent lots of time to fit me for a bra and find styles that were both pretty and comfortable for two weeks cruising around the Mediterranean. I happily walked out with two new bras. However, when I wore one of them for the first time (on the eight-hour plane trip home), it wasnt as comfortable as it was in the store. If this had been any other store, I couldve kissed my $60+ goodbye because I had worn the bra and even discarded the tags. But I found out that Kiss & Makeup isnt any lingerie store. Ruth would rather her customers be happy than quibble over a tag. She invited me back in the store to try on different styles--no attitude or hassles--and I found a bra that I literally could sleep in (if I wanted to)! That fabulous customer service earned her a loyal customer and I have vowed to never buy cheap dept. store bras again.

I love buying from Kiss & Make-Up! The first time I visited Ruths store, I was immediately fitted for THE RIGHT SIZE. I really thought I was wearing a good size, but it turns out I just didnt know what I was missing. Ruth was attentive and made me feel important and that she was sincerely interested in helping me. I have also gone in for a corset and nighty. Ruth was patient with me as I wandered her store, taking my time. After I found some items to try on, she continued to hand me other items I had overlooked (and loved!). Corsets are notoriously difficult to try on and can be frustrating. Ruth was beyond helpful with the fitting and I was so pleased with her selection and prices (more affordable than you might think for a boutique). I will absolutely continue to shop at Ruths store and tell my friends to do the same!

I have been a customer of Kiss & Make-Ups since about 2008, my mom took me in to get fitted for a bra because I was having so much trouble finding ones that fit me really well. Two strapless bras and one "everyday" bra later I still go there when I need something new that will last! Ruth is very sweet and attentive to all her customers and is sure that you like what you get! I just recently went in there to get a Halloween costume for this past Halloween and she guessed my size right off the bat as well as told me I was in the wrong size bra, just by looking at me! It is a very impressive thing, I think, to be able to do that and because I somehow managed to get the wrong bra size the last time I shopped at some other store, I will be making a trip back soon to get the correct size!!

I recently stopped in kiss and makeup. I had seen their website and knew that they had expanded sizes. I am a plus size and the stores at the mall, vickies, doesnt care my bra size. I was looking for something for valentines day. I wanted to feel special. This store made me feel that way. I was able to get a Bra fitting, found 2 wonderful bras (there were choices for me) and a beautiful corset. I have been in other stores, and had never seen such a selection of corsets. What made me the most happy was they had items for all sizes, they had from the small to the large in everything! In Bras, in corsets, in night wear. I was so happy to see a selection of items. Stop by and get a fitting and feel special

Ruth was my saving grace 2 years ago after the birth of my daughter. I was one of those lucky moms who produced so much milk, that I easily fed my own child, pumped and fed a fiends baby as well. But that also meant none of the average intimate departments places had what I needed. I had a hard time finding my bra size before but now it was a real challenge! After days of suffering, hours on the internet and on the phone my friend advised me to call Kiss and make up... So I did and the rest is a history! I left feeling like a proud happy mama in a perfectly fitting bra. The sun was shining again and Ruth was my hero.Thank you for running such a unique store and all the great advice!
