Bachelor Nation reports that there is a very important reason why "The Bachelorette" is always seen wearing a stunning, floor-length gown with sequins during her first night of filming the show. The show's stylist, Cary Fetman, opened up about why he chooses a very specific type of dress for the premiere episode while speaking with former "Bachelorette" stars Becca Kufrin and Rachel Lindsay on the "Bachelor Happy Hour" podcast last year. The stylist admitted that the gowns are chosen mostly due to the long filming hours and weather conditions that the star has to endure while meeting all of her contestants on the first night.
"There's a reason why they all have some gauzy bottom or sequins," Fetman said. "I don't think the audience realizes how long that night is and how many times you're lifted in the air and put down," he continued. "It's gotta be something that I can dry and clean while the party is beginning before you go back out again. It can't be something that is absorbed and is filthy, because it's a really long night. You can't worry about the fact that every time you cross your leg, the bottom of your dress is completely ruined," the stylist confessed.
However, Fetman also admitted that he doesn't get the final say in the leading lady's wardrobe.
