"I can't wait to see you wear it! Thank you to everyone who entered the giveaway, I can't wait to see the beautiful girls get to wear them!" Gabby wrote to the winners.

When the Season 19 The Bachelorette star first announced she'd be giving away two dresses, she wrote in an Instagram post, "**GIVEAWAY** 2 dresses/prom dresses for prom szznnn!! I don't know any high schoolers (they scare me) so thinking of nieces, cousins, any girlie alike!"

"These dresses have barely been worn and seen on the most 'dramatic' season of the Bachelor," Gabby continued.

"They're just sitting in my closet and would love to give them to someone who will make some amazing new memories in them!!... I'll pick someone Sunday night and ship next week!"

The first dress in the giveaway was a gold, strapless gown full of sparkles. Gabby wore this dress on Night 1 of The Bachelor's 26th season, when she stepped out of a limo to meet Clayton.

"There's not another one like it. I got it from this boutique in Beverly Hills," Gabby said in her description of it.

"It's slightly sheer and beautiful and has lots of history in it; like 5 or 6 of the contestants on Clayton's season wore it before producers told us we had to stop lolzzz."

And Gabby wore the second dress -- a sexy copper orange dress with visible cups, spaghetti straps and a thigh-high split -- after Fantasy Suite Week in Iceland.

"Dress 2 -- the iconic/dramatic rose ceremony in Iceland circa 'wrong f*cking answer," Gabby shared.

Both dresses were a Size Small, or a 2-4 in women's.

In order to enter the contest, fans had to like the photo of the dress they wanted and follow Gabby on Instagram. In addition, Gabby asked contestants to tag three friends in the post and make sure they'd follow her also.

Rachel Recchia, who starred on The Bachelorette's nineteenth season alongside Gabby, commented, "Can I have it to hang on my wall?"

Serene Russell wrote in the comments, "The sisterhood of the traveling dress."

Gabby's celebrity crush, Jersey Shore star Vinny Guadagnino, also joked, "Tagging 3 friends now!"

And Clayton playfully commented on Gabby's giveaway, "Don't be shy! Tag him!!"

Gabby and Rachel got dumped simultaneously by Clayton on The Bachelor after they both slept with him in the Fantasy Suites and met his family. He chose Susie Evans as his winner, although the pair didn't begin dating until after the show taped in the real world.

Both women went on to star on The Bachelorette, hoping to find true love.

Gabby got engaged to Erich Schwer on The Bachelorette's Season 19 finale, which aired in September 2022, but they called off their engagement, in an alleged amicable manner, less than two months later.

News of Gabby and Erich's split surfaced on November 4, and then Gabby revealed while she was competing on Dancing with the Stars later that month how she and her former fiance weren't "in sync" or "the best match" for each other.

When asked if she'd be The Bachelorette star again, Gabby revealed on the April 25 episode of the "Off the Vine with Kaitlyn Bristowe" podcast, "I would honestly be the Bachelorette again -- for the right price."

After Gabby and Erich broke up, Gabby set her sights on her Dancing with the Stars Season 31 competitor, Vinny.

Gabby admitted she had a "crush" on Vinny and would "of course" go on a date with him if he asked.

The pair flirted on social media for months beginning in November 2022 and spent a lot of time together on the Dancing with the Stars tour earlier this year, but Vinny confirmed in January that he and Gabby weren't dating.

"It takes a lot more for me than just, like, a couple Instagram comments to be dating someone," Vinny explained to Us Weekly, adding, "I would actually go to dinner with Gabby. It's just that we just met, you know what I mean? It's not like anything serious."

Vinny, however, gushed about how he has "great chemistry" with the brunette beauty.

"We're both, like, comedians. So, that's why we get along and that's also why we flirt so much on Instagram because we have that same banter with each other," Vinny shared at the time.

Gabby told Kaitlyn on "Off the Vine" that she and Vinny still talk all the time and he likes her, however, she said dating would be difficult since she lives in Los Angeles and he lives in New York.

Gabby also confirmed she has no romantic interest in Dancing with the Stars pro Alan Bersten, whom she was spotted on a dinner date with in March. Gabby said they're "just friends" and she also feels he brings "little-brother energy" to their relationship.

Erich, meanwhile, recently shared how his mental health struggled during and after The Bachelorette.

Erich announced in mid-February he was in a new relationship with model and social media influencer Elizabeth Turner.

Although there are no pictures of Elizabeth on Erich's Instagram account, her account shows they're hanging out all the time and are still going strong as a couple.
