About the designer:
Jacob Vaughn Gushue is a 28 year old artist/designer hailing from Boston, MA who runs a one-man silk screening and leatherworking shop called Project TransAction. Jacob earned his undergraduate Bachelors of Fine Arts degree with Distinction from Massachusetts College of Art in 2003, where he studied in a unique program called Studio For Interrelated Media (S.I.M.) Since then, he has shown in two indie film festivals (Flaming Film Festival and Pawtucket Film Festival,) a number of political poster shows (including Paper Politics and internationally acclaimed Yo! What Happened to Peace?,) co-produced a series of rock/mixed media art shows with Form Productions, and most recently worked on graphic design and tech for Homo A Gogo 2009.
Jacob created Project TransAction in August 2006 as an idea based around bartering and re-use. Over time it evolved to become what it is today: a shop featuring a unique combination of custom screenprinting and handmade leatherwork. Jake designs and hand-crafts each and every item with careful attention to detail, and in the most earth friendly way possible. He selectively works with other progressive companies to create affordable, long lasting, and thought provoking goods that people can feel confident investing in.
Project TransAction is currently based in San Francisco, CA.

Happy Days ADJUSTABLE STRETCH HALTER TUNIC/DRESS
This fabulously sexy dress is soft, stretchy, comfortable, flowing, and adjustable. It is constructed with and “Empire” shape elastic waistband that flatters the smallest part of a woman’s waist. The top is a halter shape, that has adjustments on the bust, to allow for a size B-D bust. The skirt is “A-Line” shape, and it is very flowing, and flattering for the female body. You can wear this design as a dress, or a tunic top over your favorite premium denim jeans! The back looks like a T-shape, and has a sexy, and flattering shape for the female figure. Wear this in the Summer… or all throughout the year.
* Each of these dresses are one-of-a-kind, and the pattern of the fabric will slightly vary. I assure you, they will be beautifully constructed.*
