It covers iconic moments like the bunny suit on the cover of Playboy, evening wear at Studio 54, and costumes from her most famous film and TV roles.

Filled with candour, humour, and lots and lots of rhinestones, Behind the Seams is a shining tribute to one of the most beloved musicians in history. It's a treasured keepsake for anyone who loves Dolly Parton and an indispensable guide to forging your own path to beauty and confidence.
