Forget who asked if Desiree made her dress on her 1 on 1 date but I came across this info that I thought would helpful. So I wouldn't be surprised that she had done more of her gowns for the RC's. Time will tell.

Five Things You Didn’t Know About Desiree Hartsock

1) She is a bridal stylist — Desiree is both a designer and a bridal stylist, and she used to work at Serenity Bridal. She will be wearing her own wedding dress soon enough, so it’s ideal that she has all these bridal contacts!

2) She designed her own dress for the opening rose ceremony — when Desiree appeared on season 17 of The Bachelor, she wowed Sean Lowe in a stunning red dress, that she designed herself. Brains and beauty? She’s a catch!

PRESS RELEASE - ENTERTAINMENT - ABC announces Desiree Hartsock as the new "Bachelorette"

FAN FAVORITE DESIREE HARTSOCK, WHO ROSE FROM HUMBLE BEGINNINGS TO BECOME AN INDEPENDENT, HARD WORKING GIRL-NEXT-DOOR LOOKING FOR LOVE, STARS ON "THE BACHELORETTE" WHEN IT RETURNS TO ABC ON MONDAY, MAY 20

Will This Cinderella Find Her Prince Charming?


Desiree Hartsock and the Bachelor Nation faithful thought she would happily end up with America's favorite Bachelor, Sean Lowe. Their relationship started off incredibly strong, but somewhere along the way Desiree lost her confidence. After struggling to regain what they once had, Sean and Desiree seemed to be on the right track - until the hometown dates. Millions watched, stunned, as Sean sent Desiree home, and they fell even more in love with her as she struggled to tell him he was making a big mistake. Now it's time for Desiree to call the shots when she gets her second chance to find love, starring in the ninth edition of ABC's hit romance reality series, "The Bachelorette," which will premiere MONDAY, MAY 20 (9:00-11:00 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network. The identity of the new Bachelorette was revealed tonight on ABC's live telecast of "The Bachelor: After the Final Rose."

Please note: "The Bachelorette" will move to its regularly scheduled timeslot, Mondays from 8:00-10:01 p.m., ET on May 27.

Desiree, 26, moved numerous times with her family as a youth and eventually settled in Colorado. After her high school graduation, she moved to California where she attended Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FITM) in Los Angeles. Although her family was of modest means, they were rich in love. Their values helped guide Desiree to become an industrious, passionate and creative woman who loves living in California and working hard to make her dreams come true. She is currently an operations manager at a bridal salon and a bridal stylist, but that hasn't stopped her for shooting for the stars. She is confident that in the future she will be a bridal gown designer who owns her own boutique. But more than anything, Desiree's ultimate dream is to find a love like the one her parents share. Married for 35 years, but together for 40, they've always supported and appreciated one another. It's that cherished model of marriage that led Desiree to be on "The Bachelor," where she fell in love with Sean.

This spunky, athletic and artistic woman is eagerly looking for a life filled with spontaneity, love and laughter. She hopes someday to travel the world with that special someone whom she'll run home to see every day. And she is positive, after falling in love on "The Bachelor," that she can find her soul mate on "The Bachelorette."

'The Bachelorette' Dances On Andaz West Hollywood For Latest Date

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]


Last week, we learned that The Bachelorette, Desiree Hartstock, filmed one of her numerous dates at the Ojai Valley Inn, much to guest Johnny Jet's dismay. This week, we learn that Des and her men took over the Andaz West Hollywood and what a date it was: Our tipster writes in:


I was meeting a friend for lunch on the Sunset Strip this Thursday when we noticed a crowd in front of the Andaz hotel and a production crew with three or four cameras. We looked up and people were dancing on the facade of the building. We stuck around until the dancers came down to the ground and saw it was Des (The Bachelorette) on one of her dates. Here's a pic I snapped while they were rigged up on wires.


We don't know yet if the filming impacted any guests staying at the hotel (if it did, tell us!) but we're gonna guess that if you woke up at the Andaz one morning and saw this happening outside your window, you might be a little miffed. Especially if you hadn't put your pants on yet.

We'll be keeping our eyes and ears open for where "The Bachelorette" takes her road show over the next few months, especially as the production crew takes over more properties. Got a tip about The Bachelorette filming in a hotel? Email us or drop it in comments below!

Can you imagine being 90 degrees perpendicular to the window and that far up in the air? Wow.
