Beautiful pictures, informative, and perfect gift for any Dolly fan or fashionista!

I’ve always loved Dolly Parton, and seeing her concert was one of my musical highlights. I I was very excited to read about her costumes and the stories behind them. They didn’t disappoint. She was candid and honest about her career. Every costume was gorgeous and had a story behind it. She always surrounds herself with the best people, so that’s why she always looks marvelous. Long live Dolly.

If you are a Dolly fan you will want this book in your library. It is worth the cost. I really enjoyed looking at this book.

I bought this for a Christmas gift for my mom, who has several Dolly books and this was a terrific addition. She likes hard covers and this book is a good size, heavy and sturdy, with loads of photos and stories about Dolly’s iconic fashion and style.

This is a beautiful big book full of wonderful photos and information about many of Dolly's outfits over the course of her career. Anybody who is interested in this will enjoy this book. It's oversized and just a beautiful book, very well done.

Purchased for a gift.

A gorgeous book for anyone that loves Dolly and her many incarnations.

Gorgeous photos and a great book to flip through.

Je prends rarement la peine d’écrire un commentaire sur mes achats, mais ce livre est vraiment une splendeur. C’est un historique complet des costumes de scène de l’artiste, qui contient de très belles photos en couleur, gros plans, etc. De plus, les tenues sont magnifiques. Je conseille ce livre à tous les admirateurs de Dolly Parton, mais surtout aux fans de mode, haute couture, costumes de scène et d’histoire de la mode.

Who doesn't love a bit of Dolly!!? This exceptionally talented and kindly lady has sparkled throughout her life, just about as much as her sequin and jewel bedecked wardrobe does!!! I wasn't sure if the Kindle version of this sumptuous book would be as good as the coffee table version, but I'm happy to say that it is!! For a digital copy, this book is pretty outstanding. It's nice to have both versions of the book, as you can keep the coffee table book pristine, by thumbing through the Kindle version instead. Look out for offers, as I purchased the digital version at an absolute bargain price, which was a welcome bonus!! This book is a feast for the eyes and the soul. Dolly always provides a glimpse of sparkle and inspiration in what can currently be a very lacklustre world. Shine on, dear lady!!!

This book is beautiful! Love the pictures and the stories. It is wonderful that Dolly shared this with us!

I love the clothing, absolutely unique to Dolly. Her stories are very entertaining, she’s an amazing self made woman with a terrific sense of humour
