If they also add old sets with the new feature of being dyeable and wearable by different classes, these old sets also add to the novelty, and thus there are even more glamour pieces to be excited about.

If anything, I think it's a smart thing to do. And considering all the effort that designing each set takes (I believe I read something about 6 months), it's only normal they would want each design not to lose their relevance quickly, and instead be something people can still look forward to in the future.
This doesn't make much sense. Why all of a sudden start reusing dungeon gear that we got literally a month before as event gear to extend the novelty/relevance of it? Also, revealing armor tends to stay popular for quite a good chunk of time. I don't think those swimsuits were going to be falling out of favor any time soon.
