Behind the Seams: My Life in Rhinestones by Dolly Parton

Behind the Seams: My Life in Rhinestone by Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton shared pictures of her fabulous costumes, from the start of her career when she was 18 through 2022. This is a coffee table sized book, weighing at least ten pounds. From the start of her career, Dolly had people who preserved and curated her costumes, accessories, and hairpieces. Fun to page through, even if you don't read the accompanying text. Interesting to watch how her style has evolved (and stayed the same) over the years. We hear from her designers, hair stylists, and the people who do the actual embellishments on her gowns.


In addition to her clothes, Dolly's sense of humor is also on display. She talks about modeling her style on the woman known as the "town tramp" when she was growing up. Recommended to Dolly Parton fans or anyone who enjoys fashion.
