Alicia was born and raised in Long Beach, California. Alicia grew up in a large Mexican American family of 10 kids, she has 3 brothers, and 6 sisters. Out of necessity and at an early age, Alicia was taught basic sewing techniques from her mother. Not letting lack of money stop her creativity, one of her first creations was a plastic skirt, made out of a shower curtain her mother threw in the trash. With a positive attitude, hard work, and faith in God, Alicia quickly forayed her sewing skills into a thriving business! 
For the first few years of business, Alicia was a one man operation. She spent countless hours designing dresses, creating patterns, and cutting and sewing hundreds of dresses with her own two hands. When Alicia began her company, she had no investors, and no connections, yet she never let this get in her way of success! What she couldn't afford, she just learned and did herself. It was this hands on approach and positive attitude, that later proved key in building a successful and lasting corporation, that has lasted well over 20 years, Praise God!
Today, along side her husband James, Alicia works diligently to create beautiful dresses with a great fit, that enhance all shapes and sizes. Alicia thrives on building a global lifestyle brand, and building true lasting success!  Alicia is living proof that dreams do come true, and thanks God for her talents, and the ultimate success of Stop Staring! 
For the year 2020 Stop Staring! will focus first on Gods will, to spread the word of God to the whole world! Secondly, she will focus on designing beautiful classy dresses and she has began to design shoes, and hand bags, she will be selling these on her website, and select stores.  Designer Alicia Estrada will be using her design expertise, and 20 years of hands on experience, to bring her fans the most beautiful styles, and timeless collections in these two product categories! May the Lord Bless you all!
