Regarding the earlier “zona” comment. I did not CH”V intend to imply that a skirt that’s too short means the wearer should be labeled a zona. That is clearly not true as there are obviously many levels of dress between tznius and zona and besides it would still be a terrible thing to call a bas yisrael so I was in no way implying that.
My point was, as I wrote, that a woman has no right to violate tznius in any way (whether prutza, zona or any other level) just because she feels the need to make herself more attractive for her husband. Tznius certainly does allow a woman to make herself attractive to her husband (when appropriate), but that does not mean she can dress in a non-tznius manner in the street; she obviously may not.
And if the husband senses this is what’s happening, he obviously should inform her that he appreciates her thought and consideration for him, but he prefers she dress fully modestly in public as required by halacha.
