  Two mothers decided to make clothes that include all the things that little girls do and love.

  Six­year­old Bella loves to play with cars. So her dress has pictures of cars on it.

  "We haven't found this type of dress in the store,"Cathy, Bella's mother, says.

  The car dress is from a new girl's clothing line called Princess Awesome. Rebecca Melsky set up the business. She says its products for girls have some designs normally found on boys' clothes.

  It all started two years ago when Rebecca was hoping to buy clothing for her two­year­old, who liked robots, trucks and spaceships.

  "One day when I walked through a girls' store, I thought to myself I wish they'd make one of those beautiful dresses that also have a robot on it because she will love that. And I thought someone should do that. Maybe I should do that," Rebecca said.

  Her friend Eva St. Clair believed she should, and their business was born. The women sold the first 70 dresses they made at a market. So they decided to expand their business online. Their products sold very well there, too.

  "They sold out so fast that I could not make them fast enough. We decided it was time to think about a factory," Rebecca said.

  So they started to raise money from people over the Internet. The women raised more than$215,000 within days, far more than the $35,000 they expected.

  "Our biggest challenge is going to be how we expand as rapidly as people seem to want us to," Rebecca said.

  The women hope Princess Awesome will expand into products for girls of all ages and all interests.
