“Cary is so much more than a stylist.
And if you don’t get along with Cary, that’s a serious red flag.
It’s like having beef with Mr. ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: How would you describe each Bachelorette’s style?

CARY FETMAN:Gabby’s style is very sexy.
Gabby loves as little amount of clothes on as possible.
And with that body, I don’t blame her.

Beads were added to certain parts of that dress just to make it so that she could wear it.
That’s the pop in of clothes that she feels most comfortable in.
But what I loved about her was she said, “Just change me.
Gabby and a furry friend on ‘The Bachelor’.ABC
Do whatever you want.
But just know this is where my go-to taste is.”
That’s so far from the truth….
The first two days [of helping them choose their wardrobe] is just shopping through the showroom.
Just shop, pull everything you want.
It’s all about you all day long.
Did Gabby and Rachel “shop” in the showroom together or separately?
We were in cold climates, we were in hot climates.
We needed boots and shoes with thick soles because they were going to be walking on cobblestones…
However they lead it is how I’ll follow it.
So if they get bored looking at gowns, maybe they’ll jump to blouses.
It’s really them that leads the fitting.
I’m just there to facilitate it.
One country was 15 degrees colder than what they had forecasted for the whole week and rainy.
What would you say was your biggest challenge?
Which one gets that dress, seeing that you both have fallen in love with the dress?”
You go through the rest of the dresses with them [again].
And so I’d make a run at do that.
And sometimes, it’s just being honest and saying, “Hey, here’s the thing.
You both want this dress.
Do you care who gets it?
She’s needing it a little more right now than you are.
They were amazing about all of that.
Well, that’s good to hear.
If they’re not going to fight over dresses, hopefully they also won’t fight over men.
It’s really interesting.
They don’t have the same taste in guys.
Let’s talk about their night one looks.
How did you and Gabby pick her sheer dress?
It was a beautiful dress, the lace, the beading, it’s all hand beaded.
It’s beautifully done.
It’s aRandi Rahmgown… Gabby saw that dress and one other dress.
And we put it on, and she was completely nude underneath it.
I was like, “Okay, this isn’t going to work.
We started adding very sheer layers, but it just started making the dress look heavy.
I can assure ABC, no, you’re not seeing everything.
And what about Rachel’s dress?
Rachel’s dress also was Randi Rahm.
She wanted that dress from the minute she saw it.
It’s another Randi Rahm with a high leg split.”
The cuts are basically the same a person falls in love with a cut.
It doesn’t mean that it’s the same kind of beading, or the same coloring.
How many did you need this season, with two Bachelorettes?
We used to get up to 11 at the most.
This time we were at 30, I think.
There were tons of coats!
Usually we’ll go to warm climates, so all you need is a couple of bathing suits.
And with two girls, we have so many more outfits.
They need to have a conversation…
Normally, we used to do [a season ofThe Bachelorette] with 173 outfits.
I bet on this season they must have gone through at least 260 outfits per person.
Did you have to factor in her unpredictability when you helped her choose her looks?
She’s completely unpredictable.
And yes, having to remind her sometimes, “You are just barely in that top.
And Rachel’s the same Rachel loves to play.
Rachel’s all about playing, but she prefers to feel more dressed up.
The hardest outfit to do with Rachel was a pair of jeans and a T-shirt.
She feels more in her comfort zone [when she’s dressed up].
It makes her feel more self-assured.
She is a girlie girl.
Are there any spectacular looks during the season that you’re able to tease for us now?
