This entrepreneur has made it her business to provide classy clothes for kids.

Cristina, 36, can still see her and her big sisters when they were children dressed in crisp, A-line shift dresses.  She says that her mom dressed her and her sisters in timeless outfits.  Cristina and her sister Victoria figured that a lot of parents today would also want to dress their kids the same way.  So the two put together $20,000 in savings to create a well-tailored and fashionable children’s clothing line.

Cristina threw a launch party for the company in her own home.  As hoped, friends and family bought all the pieces.  She says the reaction was incredible.  So she held another party, and word of mouth began.

Last year, sales at her company hit the $1 million mark.

Cristina’s personal payoff is that she helps moms enjoy that small window in time when their kids will still dress adorably.  “If you’re lucky, you have until they’re six years old,” she says.  “Then they want to wear jeans and a T-shirt like the rest of us.
