12 posts | 9 read | 1 reading | 4 to read
A beautiful celebration of Dolly Partons iconic sense of style through entertaining personal stories and 450 full-color photographs, including exclusive images from her private costume archive In Behind the Seams: My Life in Rhinestones, global superstar Dolly Parton shares, for the first time, the full story behind her lifelong passion for fashion, including how she developed her own, distinctly Dolly style, which has defied convention and endeared her to fans around the world. Featuring behind-the-scenes stories from Dolly Partons life and career, and the largest reveal of her private costume archive, this gorgeously photographed book spotlights her most unforgettable looks from the 1960s to now. The sky-high heels, famous wigs, bold makeup, eye-catching stage clothesshe shares them all. Along the way, Parton discusses memorable outfits from her past, from the clothes her mother would sew out of feed sacks (including her Coat of Many Colors) and the bold dresses and hairdos that shook up Nashville, to the bunny suit on the cover of Playboy, evening wear at Studio 54, costumes from her most famous film and TV roles, and the daring styles that continue to entertain and inspire today. Filled with candor, humor, and lots and lots of rhinestones, Behind the Seams: My Life in Rhinestones is a shining tribute to one of the most beloved musicians in history, a treasured keepsake for anyone who loves Dolly Parton, and an indispensable guide to forging your own path to beauty and confidence.

I love Dolly. I have to get the physical print edition of this but I spotted the audiobook available through my library. Glad I listened to it and I can‘t wait to see the photos.

Dolly Parton performed this live version of "Jolene" in 2002. She dedicated it to the drag queens in the audience.

125/150 Did I just spend 4 plus hours listening to Dolly Parton talk about her clothes, hair and make-up? If anyone else had read this, I doubt I would have listened to it, but who doesn't love Dolly? I like the format, a casual conversation with Dolly about the history and development of her unique style of dress. 3.75/5

Little chipmunk songs 🤣🤣

CatLass007 I didn‘t want to get the audiobook because the print version has pictures. I never would‘ve thought to play the music at 1.5 speed. 😁 13mo
ShananigansReads @CatLass007 I rarely listen to a book at regular speed. So it‘s an amusing side effect. I debated reading the print version but I wanted to hear dolly reading it. Probably should have gotten both and had a dual experience. 13mo
Kerrbearlib I had the same experience with the music 😂 7mo

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This coffee table style book - an in-depth look at some of Dolly‘s most iconic looks - was surprisingly excellent on audio. It was essentially a long-form interview with Dolly herself, and who doesn‘t love hearing her speak?? She‘s so smart and funny. This was just delightful! I‘m hoping to get the physical copy for Christmas. She‘s gonna need to publish an update to include that Cowboys Cheerleader uniform!

Suet624 She‘s something else! 13mo
MallenNC I listened to her other book that was about her song writing and it was great. It was an interview style and I enjoyed that. I was wondering how this one was. 13mo
britt_brooke @MallenNC I listened to that one, too! 🩷 13mo
HeyT This came through the holds at work and the physical book is a very awkward size. Definitely coffee table style. I think audio was probably the best way to tackle this one. 13mo
britt_brooke @HeyT Yeah, it‘s big and heavy! I want a copy but I‘m glad I listened to the audio. 13mo
