It’s official: Rachel Lindsay is engaged to Bryan Abasolo! Whether you were surprised or not by that dramatic finale, you probably weren’t surprised that Rachel left us with a truly stunning look for the proposal. She wore a silver beaded gown with a sexy high slit by Randi Rahm, a designer who is not only a Bachelor franchise favorite, but one whose designs Rachel herself has worn seven(!) other times throughout the season — including her gorgeous premiere dress.

Like her premiere dress, which weighed 25-30 pounds (depending on who you ask), the fully beaded look Rachel wore for the finale weighed “at least” 30, the designer tells PeopleStyle exclusively. However, the heaviness didn’t deter our Bachelorette. “Once Rachel saw the dress in person, there was no question which gown she was going to pick. This was the clear winner,” says Rahm.
