My question is regarding women’s clothing. What kind of clothes can she wear in the house?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by ShariahBoard.org
My question is regarding women’s clothing. What kind of clothes can she wear in the house? can she wear dresses that have short sleeves or/and big necks or on the tight side in the home? the only people in the home are her own children and husband, and, occasionally, other na-maharim also visit. when she does goes out of her house, she wears full hijaab. sometimes, other women and young girls come to the house who don’t wear the hijaab. If these people assume that because she is wearing these clothes then they must be jaaiz. If then, these people wear similar clothes outside, (without hijaab) will she get the gunaah (sin)?
A woman should wear a complete wardrobe in her house as well in which her head and feet are hidden except her hands and face. Non-mahram should not be able to see her. Only in the presence of her husband she can wear certain type of clothes to appease which reveal some parts of her body.
