How do I shoot self-portraits (boudoir photography...)?

I have a Canon T1i and would like to take some full-body shots (just lingerie) for my husband who is in Afghanistan right now. Obviously I don't want someone else taking them, and I don't have the money for (or trust in) a professional photographer.

How do I actually begin setting up the camera for that? What are some flattering angles? How do I make that sexy shadow-from-window-light look that still shows me, but will give contrast with shadows?

If you have ever done this type of photography (for yourself or others), what are some posing (or technical) tips you have?

Thank you! The more detail the better.
