My Italian MIL gave me a peignoir at my shower, as did my own mother. No prob. My honeymoon lasted longer than two nights and I wore both.

At my daughter's wedding shower, I gave HER a peignoir. This time the wedding was in the bible belt south and the groom's family were Southerners, not Italians, and everyone went "Ohhhh!" as if I'd given her 8 x 12 blow-ups of actual sex act photos or something. It wasn't even a sheer peignoir, but very pretty and romantic.

Ya can't win.
