Question
We wanted to clarify what is permitted and to what extent a woman can be undressed or partially dressed in front of her husband in her home without any strangers around, throughout the house and not just in the bedroom. Are there things she is halachically forbidden to expose outside the bedroom, or are there no restrictions? If so, what are they, and I would appreciate sources for this. Thank you.
Answer
Shalom u'vracha
One should be careful not to expose oneself more than necessary, due to the obligation of modesty before the Almighty, an obligation that exists even when a person is alone.

Se'if 1
Do not put on your robe while sitting (Tur), but take your robe and put it on your head and arms while lying down, so that when you rise, you are covered.
Se'if 2
Do not say: I am in my innermost chambers, who sees me, for the Holy One, blessed be He, fills the whole earth with His glory (Isaiah 6:3).
