As evidenced by the many tumblr blogs that show photos from that era along with some of the blogs and aother writings you can find on the internet, i know i'm not alone. There are others like me who are likely around the same age or older who love that look.

This picture of a hot pink maribou peignoir set from the 1960's is what got me to thinking about this question. Oddly enough, the information on the tumblr blog where i found it, Miss E Normuss, might have provided at least a bit of insight into the answer. On the blog, Miss E briefly describes herself as a 21 year old UK housewife. That would mean she was born around 1993, a few decades after this pegnoir set was in fashion!
i guess it proves that in the eyes of many, beautiful feminine fashion is always something to admire, even if it has gone "out of style."
