Behind the Seams: My Life in Rhinestones by Dolly Parton — a New York Times bestseller. A beautiful celebration of Dolly’s iconic style, told through personal stories and 450 full-color photographs, including exclusive images from her private costume archive.
For the first time, Dolly Parton shares the full story behind her lifelong passion for fashion — how she built a look that defied convention and became one of the most recognizable styles in the world.
From the clothes her mother sewed out of feed sacks (including the “Coat of Many Colors”) to the wigs, heels, bold makeup, and rhinestone stage outfits that shook up Nashville and lit up arenas, Dolly walks through the looks that defined her life. Along the way she recalls evening wear at Studio 54, the famous Playboy bunny suit, costumes from her film and TV roles, and the daring styles that still entertain and inspire.
Gorgeously photographed and packed with behind-the-scenes stories from Dolly and the designers, hairdressers, and makeup artists who helped create the look, Behind the Seams is part fashion history, part memoir, and a sparkling tribute to originality and self-confidence.
A treasured keepsake for anyone who loves Dolly Parton — and proof that if you feel like a star, you can dress like one.
