Bring Back The Peignoir!

Elizabeth Montgomery Bewitched

As I watched an episode of Bewitched as Samantha Stevens came running down her stairs in the middle of the night I had the same thought I always have when I watch a show or movie "before my time": What ever happened to the peignoir!?! I know that they still exist, but the foot of fabric that we call a peignoir/dressing gown today cannot hold a candle to the vintage fashion statements I see in classic movies. The elegance and style of the peignoir makes a great gift for a bride. Here are only some examples of the beauty of the classic peignoir piece; You can easily mistake some for dresses!
