Review By Veronica
Behind the Seams is an interesting book that is perfect for anyone who is a fan of Dolly Parton.
Goodreads Synopsis:
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 Parton’s 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 clothes—she 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 Parton; she is a fabulous singer and a wonderful person who has lived such an interesting life. When I stumbled upon this book on Hoopla, I knew I needed to sit down and listen to it. Come on, you must listen to a book with Dolly as one of the narrators. I’m not a huge fashionista, but I do know Dolly is known for her bold and gorgeous outfits. I was curious about how her iconic look came to be and how it evolved over the years. This audiobook really did a fabulous job at capturing Dolly’s essence and showing a part of her life that has made her so well-known in society.
This audiobook was enjoyable to listen to. Having Dolly part of the narration made the reading experience feel more personal. It was great learning about different moments in Dolly’s life. I felt like I was getting an insider’s look into her career. We also get to hear from those who have worked with Dolly over the years and learn what it was like working with such an iconic figure.
Overall, this is a fun, quick audiobook that will please anyone who loves Dolly Parton.
