I have an unhealthy attachment to beautiful fabrics and handmade textiles. Years ago I became aware of the vast treasures of India, the vibrant dyes, intricate beadwork and hand embroidery combined with centuries old artistry makes for unquestionable quality. April Madden Studio uses Vintage Indian Sari as the inspiration for every collection. We see the wonderful patterns in the Sari interpreted as modern clothing. The finished product allows our clients to enjoy the intricate designs in a fresh wearable way. Each item produced is one of a kind and expertly constructed in Kansas City MO. Our hope is to create the heirlooms of the future so the use of french seams, bias binding and fine finishing is a hallmark of our work. Custom design services are available for an extra fee, please allow 2-4 weeks for custom orders, expedited services can be added for an additional cost. Current fabric selections can be sent for client approval. Items pictured in our shop are ready to be enjoyed and will be lovingly shipped with in 48 hours of completed payment.

One of a kind wearable works of art meticulously made.

Our fabulous (we think!) studio is located in the historic West Bottoms District KCMO that means Kansas City, Missouri
Lots of of natural light streams in from our 3 large 5th story windows. We share the floor w/ lots of crazy artsy people
Plenty of storage space for all our creations as well as vintage hats and accessories we like to keep for inspiration.
Tidy table and organized supplies are a must...just kidding we like to pile up fabrics and trims to see how they work!
This is Royal our shop dog, he sends his love!!!!!!

One of a kind wearable works of art expertly and finely made.

I knew from the moment my fingers gingerly placed a square of fabric under the little Singer sewing machine my father bought for me at the young age of twelve that there was magic to be made. My grandmother, my aunt and my mother were my guides on this new adventure, and it has proven to be quite a ride. Over the last two decades I have created costumes for large scale musical productions, designed wedding gowns with skirts made of over 60 yards of silk organza and anything else a client or theatre wished for. In 2012 I began creating a ready to wear line. My inspiration... East Indian Sari fabric. The rich dyes and luxurious silks are truly breathtaking. Our intention is to create one of kind wearable works of art and we mean wearable. Each piece is constructed with attention to detail, every seam, every topstitch, every zipper or button or hook and eye is applied with the utmost care. Remember only one of each item is made as originality is very important to us. We are always looking for that next adventure so we welcome you to our Etsy shop and ask you to visit our Facebook page, April Madden Studio or aprilmaddenstudio.com for more extensive portfolios.
