MAS.

I am absolutely thrilled with my carnival costume! The moment I put it on, I felt like a true carnival queen. The intricate details, the vibrant colors, and the comfortable fit all came together to make me feel confident and radiant. The costume shined and sparkled under the lights, and I received countless compliments from everyone around me. The quality is top-notch, and I could tell that a lot of love and care went into designing and crafting it. As a plus-size person, I often struggle to find costumes that make me feel beautiful and sexy, but this one exceeded all my expectations! The design was flattering, the material was comfortable, and I felt like a total bombshell. Whether you're heading to a carnival, a costume party, or just want to add some sparkle to your life, this costume is a must-have. Five stars and a big thumbs up from me! Plus-size friendly and totally empowering - don't hesitate to treat yourself!

From the moment I saw it at the band launch, I was drawn to the magician. Throughout all the launches I kept going back to the beautifully designed monokini and knew it was for me. When meeting T.J. Williams I was impressed with his thoughtfulness, talent, and not-for-profit HomeGrown. I registered in May, and no fuss pick up was on July 30. I was excited to get my costume what I considered early. The HomeGrown volunteers and T.J. were friendly and happily showed me all the pieces of my costume and explained everything included in the bag.

TJ is amazing to work with, keeping me fully up to speed with the creative process. As his client, he understood the vision and the art of storytelling through Mas. We are elated to have him as our Designer and look forward to working with him in the future. His amazing talent captivated us from the very beginning. The collaboration with LUX and HomeGrown was indeed a win-win as we were able to highlight and support local designers and acquire Avant Garde designs in the process. I highly recommend his work.

I want to let you know how appreciative I am of you. Your energy, dedication, and passion were unmatched! You truly are what the heart of the Toronto Caribbean Carnival looks like. I had an awesome time, I felt so beautiful, and I owe it all to you. I will register to play mas with you in any Carnival without hesitation.

- Yanah Sharpe, Masquerader

I can't wait for Covid to end so that you can make more mas, your designs are out of this world!

- Tushana Morris, Masquerader

My costume turned out beautiful! Seriously! It was a backline, but it is by far my favourite costume I've worn to date. It held up better than any costume I've worn on the Carnival road. It is still in good condition and I really did a number on it. It just goes to show that you really are truly a professional at your craft. You know what you are doing and you do it well. Consistently. I am so grateful, so thank you!

- Sydney Jackson, Masquerader

I am so glad to have you in my life because I never knew we would become such great friends after messaging you about registering to play mas in your section. Every time I look at that mas or put it on I feel so beautiful and that is because of your talent.

I want to give a special thank you to HomeGrown for creating a beautiful giant snowflake as my national costume for Miss Universe Canada 2020. You worked tirelessly and stayed up overnights near pageant week to complete the costume. I am so proud to have been able to represent your hard work and take a bit of a (snowy) island breeze with me on stage.

Thank you HomeGrown for my amazing custom outfit. You were so patient with me when designing this beautiful piece. You did such a great job on this piece.

You will be treated like a queen and HomeGrown will take the time to understand exactly what your needs are.

You are the best! The costume I modeled for you was the most detailed costume ever! You and your team are amazing! I can’t wait to do Toronto Caribbean Carnival with no one other than you and your amazing team!

- Arteece Noel, International Carnival Slayer

I will never forget when you flew into Chicago from Canada with the first section design you ever made just to follow your dreams. It was a pleasure to model your work and I can't wait to do it again! I am so proud of you!
