Jason wrote on April 27, 2008 07:24 PM: Why are you picking on Dolly? This is not only a great outfit but it does something good fashion should always try to do: Make a statement. With this outfit Dolly is paying tribute to her mentor and friend, country legend Porter Wagoner who died in October from cancer. Porter was a fan of flashy suits with anything on them that sparkled, like rhinestones. He and Dolly had very similar taste in clothes and it shows in this outfit. Also, one of Porter's trademarks was that he would have "Hi" sewn into the lining of his jackets, many of which are on display in the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville, TN and draw many visitors. When he was performing he would always open his coat [that said "Hi" to the crowd] which always got a round of applause from the audience. Porter was a very flashy, yet well-dressed performer and he knew, just as Dolly does, that certain outfits garner alot of attention. Outfits such as the one Dolly wore at Dollywood during her Porter tribute sparkle under the stage lights which only adds to the show. Also, Dolly is friends with Diane von Furstenberg so if she wanted to wear some of her clothes I'm sure she very easily could do so.

It looked fine on her and it certainly would have looked fine on Porter and that's who she was honoring. If Dolly didn't dress like "Dolly", I wouldn't recognize her!

forget what/who the outfit was for , return the damn thang it didn't fit properly ,while dolly is an icon , she should've had someone inside her inner circle tell her to leave the jacket buttoned.the red camo needed work - hopefully we'll never see this outfit again - but knowing dolly , she'll recycle it with a new twist .

She wore this to a tribute concert for her dear Friend, Porter Wagoner - Who loved these outfits. She made the show Porter style complete with the outfit, hair, boots, and even her band was decked out in these suits, and she only sang Porter songs.
Next time you want to criticize someones clothing, make sure you find out the purpose behind the outfit and then keep your negative opinions to yourself.
