'Bachelorette' Finale Details From Ali Fedotowsky's Potential Proposal to Her Dress

'The Bachelorette' star Ali Fedotowsky should expect to receive a Neil Lane engagement ring proposal from one of her two final suitors on the show's Aug. 2 season finale, a source tells our partner StyleList.

Beth Cooney Fitzpatrick reports that Fedotowsky was outfitted for her Bora Bora proposal scenes in a shimmering champagne-colored, silk-chiffon customized Alberto Makali gown, selected for her by the show's resident stylist, Cary Fetman.

The gown, which originally had straps, was altered to suit the reality star's desire for a strapless look that was "soft and flowing," according to sources familiar with her choice.

Some of the original version's crystal beading was removed from along the bustline for a more subtle effect.

"She wanted to look glamorous but also be relaxed and comfortable," one source revealed to StyleList.

After considering several options, Fedotowsky chose the Makali gown because it suited her vision of how she wanted to look for a possible proposal, the source adds. "It really was her dream dress and she had no regrets." (About the dress, anyway!) All eyes will be on whether Fedotowsky can break the incredibly shaky streak of successful 'Bachelor' and 'Bachelorette' romances.


Will the ring be presented to 'The Bachelorette' by her most valuable player -- the refined baseball-ace turned salesman Roberto Martinez? He is, after all, the man who had her at "hello."

Or will Fedotowsky surprise viewers by choosing rugged and witty landscaper Chris Lambton as her final rose recipient?

No word yet on whether both Martinez and Lambton met with Lane to choose engagement rings for Fedotowsky or if only one of the final two contemplated a proposal.

The finale comes as a variety of intriguing rumors circulate about Fedotowsky's choices. Normally spot-on 'Bachelorette' blogger Reality Steve has been reporting for weeks that Fedotowsky ends the season single, while Us Weekly has done two cover stories that suggest she's engaged to Martinez and planning a 2011 wedding. And now tabloids have begun hinting that she's hooked up with pro football player Matt Leinart. (Our source shot that rumor down with an emphatic "No!")

StyleList has learned that ABC closed the set for the recent filming of its post-production 'After the Final Rose' special, where Fedotowsky met with Martinez, Lambton and another finalist, Frank Neuschaefer, to discuss the season's outcome.
