Our favorite 'Bachelor' proposal dresses throughout the years

Friday, January 1, 2021
"The Bachelor" is returning soon, and we're taking this opportunity to look back at Bachelor and Bachelorette seasons of years past.

In the show, the chosen Bachelor or Bachelorette has several weeks to weed through a group of men or women to find true love, typically ending in a dream proposal.
