Parton talks fashion in upcoming book
"I am happy, proud and excited to present my book, 'Behind the Seams,' to the public. It is my hope that you will enjoy a look at my life in costume and hair and get to know some of the great people who have helped shape my life and my look. Enjoy."
Featuring behind-the-scenes stories from Parton's life and career and the largest reveal of her private costume archive, the book spotlights her looks from the 1960s to now including wigs, makeup and stage clothes.
Parton discusses outfits from her past, from the clothes her mother would sew out of feed sacks (including her "Coat of Many Colors") and the bunny suit on the cover of Playboy, evening wear at Studio 54, costumes from her film and TV roles, and the daring styles.
The book will be published by Ten Speed Press.

In 2022, when she was elected to ...
The Dolly Parton album, "Run, Rose, Run," is an aural companion to an original novel of the same name that the county music icon co-authored with popular novelist, James Patterson. Songs are inspired by characters in the book, and encouragement is a primary lyrical theme, from start to finish. It's simply put, one feel good collection of songs.
This country star has given us a decidedly traditional country album. "Driven," for example, incorporates plenty of fiddle and ...
A Dolly Parton Christmas album seems like a natural, as Parton oftentimes comes off like a child inside an adult's body. Parton was able to rope both famous Cyruses (Miley and Billy Ray) as well Jimmy Fallon, Willie Nelson and Michael Bublé to sing with her.
