Ideas to look sexy for DH

I am having a hard time with my image right now. I had surgery which includes a 22 inch (now probably longer) scar across my stomach and reconstruction on my breasts just days before we found out we were expecting. I'm finally feeling frisky again, but I hate the thought of getting totally naked in front of DH for this purpose. Yes, he loves me and says it doesn't matter to him, but it matters to me since I want to look nice for him. Any ideas for something that would cover these recent scars while still looking great for DH? And where do I shop for this?

    I found some neat little "nighties" at La Senza and Victoria Secret, that DH has enjoyed... I like that it covers my tummy but highlights the fuller figure.... ofcourse they never really are on that long anyways! lol

    I popped on my black lacey see-thru nightgown that I wore on our wedding night the other day (it still fit somehow! lol) and it was interesting to see it stretch over my belly. It still did the trick and DH loved it, as I think it brought back some memories ;) tho it didn't last on for long!

    I got it at Walmart Supercenter I think, actually... it looks something like this (with wire bra in it)

     I'd try for something like that. It screams: "I'm trying to be sexy!" lol You can't go wrong. Just find something comfortable. I think they even make maternity ones if you go look around....

     

    Here's a quote for you, just to put things into perspective:

    Frederick's of Hollywood is pretty affordable, too, and only HALF their stuff is stripper clothing.  The other half is quite pretty - bought several things for my honeymoon from there.  Fit as well as Victoria's Secret but for about half the price!  Sometimes Target surprises me with pretty and simple lingerie, too.  They have some lovely cotton/lace edged nighties right now and my husband loves the one I got in navy!

    Other than lacy babydolls, there is makeup. Clinique does a great redness corrector which I swear by: it comes out green, which masks red tones, and you just cover it up with concealer/powder.
    Here it is: https://www.clinique.com/product/1692/13188/Skincare/Redness/Treat/Redness-Solutions-Makeup-SPF15-with-Probiotic-Technology/index.tmpl

    A more permanent, but not overnight solution, is Bio-Oil. It's an absolute miracle for scars.
