Jenny Dollin has a Parkes Elvis Festival outfit like no other.
It's bright and colourful, and it's personal.
The woman from the Blue Mountains, here for her eighth festival in 2025, had an Elvis scarf collection that was growing by the year.
Then she found an innovative solution.
"I thought 'what am I going to do with them?'" Jenny said.

"They were just hanging on my light, they were becoming a fire hazard," she laughed.
"I've collected them from all the shows I've attended from all over the festival."
Elvis Presley's practice of giving away scarves began in 1970 - a stage tradition that continued during all his tours in the seventies.
He would pull the scarf from around his neck and throw it to a fan.
Watching the King of Rock and Roll perform live was a moment fans would never forget but receiving a token from him was even more special.
For Jenny that's what her scarves mean to her - though not gifted from the man himself and instead from some of the world's best Elvis Tribute Artists, she didn't want to throw them away.
So she made a skirt with them, a couple of years ago.
Her first scarf she received from the headline act Pete Storm in 2017.
When more began to build up, she wondered what to do with those.
"I made a cape for this year," Jenny said.
"I like to wear a costume for the festival.
"I got two more on the train coming up," she laughed.
Jenny's new cape is complete with a black and white eagle in the centre.
