I would discourage any woman to wear that dress, covering your face denies you too communicate with other people as facial and body language makes the majority of human communication.
It is wrongly stated as part of Islam, no one in my family can even think of wearing it, and even in Pakistan less than 5 percent of women wear it - even in conservative places.

China's Xinjiang renovates 2,000-year-old irrigation system
Cultural relics workers in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region have spent the past five years renovating an ancient subterranean irrigation system, according to a summary released by a local cultural relics bureau on Monday.
The karez irrigation system was built 2,000 years ago. The karez wells, which convey water from deep underground to the surface, are considered one of China's greatest surviving ancient man-made structures, along with the Great Wall and the Grand Canal.
Renovation started at the end of 2009 and, to date, four stages of renovations, covering 108 karez well systems with a total underground canal length of 18 km, have been carried out in the prefecture of Turpan, said Zhao Qiang, Party head with the cultural relics bureau of Turpan Prefecture.
More than 600 km of the underground canals were desilted and more than 10,000 vertical shafts have been repaired, Zhao said.
Total spending on the restoration has reached 45 million yuan (7.26 million US dollars).
Preparation for the fifth stage, which involves renovation of 15 karez wells, is under way and will start this year.
Traversing more than 5,000 kilometers, the karez wells are known as the "Great Underground Wall."
The karez well systems are composed of vertical shafts, subterranean and ground canals, and small reservoirs. The canals are supplied with water from the melted ice and snow in Xinjiang's Tianshan Mountains.
Turpan, the hottest and driest region in China, has been using the system to avoid water evaporation at the ground surface. Currently, there are more than 1,000 karez wells in Turpan prefecture, most of which have dried up because of groundwater recession and damage to the wells.
Karez wells are also found in nearby countries, including Afghanistan, Iran and Pakistan. In China, they can also be found in the provinces of Gansu, Shaanxi and Shanxi.

To have scientific development, each and every segment of society must be empowered. Certain dress codes are an impediment to women's development, including the archaic and torturing burqa. The move is a good one for the nation's progress.

For Muslim Chinese, "minority" means enrichment, not division
By Dwi Atmanta & Ina Parlina, Jakarta Post
WELCOMING GUESTS: Villagers in Jingyuan County, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, decorate a family inn in their village on May 22, 2014 (XINHUA)
A board showing pictures of 28 senior residents who have performed the haj pilgrimage stands at a park at the village gate.
Sixty-eight families comprising 620 people from the Hui ethnic group live in the village, which in 2013 was renovated under a government program devoted to the minority group.
Residents are Muslim Chinese, who make up nearly 36 percent of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region's population of 6.4 million.
At a glance, there are no differences between the Hui and the majority Han Chinese. Members of both groups speak and write the Chinese language, wear Chinese attire and celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year.
"We live in coexistence with the Han people here," said 41-year-old Hui Muslim Guo Zhanwu, a farmer who now rents his land to others.
He is of the third generation of his family to live in the village, sharing his house with his parents.
Guo said that as a member of a minority group, he has never endured discrimination. Hui Muslims are different from the Han only in religious habits, marriage traditions and diet, he said.
There are also several privileges, he adds. Hui Muslims are one of 55 ethnic minorities exempt from the government's one-child family planning policy.
He has three children: two daughters, 17 and 12 respectively, and a 5-year-old son.
The Chinese Government recognizes religious freedom, allowing the nation's more-than 1.3 billion people, including an estimated 23 million Muslims, to profess a faith as long as it is in line with the law.
Mosques boasting either Middle Eastern or Chinese architecture dot Yinchuan, the capital of Ningxia, and its surroundings. A six-century-old mosque in Tongxin county in Wuzhong has even been named a national cultural heritage site.
Ningxia has autonomy, allowing the introduction of several preferential policies for the Hui Muslims, including those related to boosting the local economy.
The government here has declared Idul Fitri a holiday, established graveyards for Muslims and allowed the Hui to appoint their own governors.
Wang Yuzhen, a Han Chinese woman working at WanTini, a family-run Muslim clothing factory in Wuzhong, said religious tolerance is evident in the factory, as well as the city.
"It's very pleasant to work here, where we interact like a family. We have lunch together in the factory's kitchen, which serves Muslim food," said Wang.
The factory, which exports its products to Egypt, Malaysia and Pakistan, employs more than 60 people, including about 30 Han Chinese.
"We coexist very, very well. There is no difference, except for our habits," said Wang, who lives in the city. She earns more than 2,000 yuan ($317) per month, higher than the standard living cost of 1,500 yuan ($238) in the city.
Yang Faxiang, the owner of WanTini, said that as part of a minority group he bought land for his factory in 1998 at a quarter of the normal price.
Ma Changbing, an official of Wuzhong, said that the Hui and Han live in harmony in the city and have not been affected by the recent attacks in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, home to a Muslim community in China's northwest.
"We live in unity here and [such incidents] do not concern us. We are among those demonstration zones, " Ma said.
"For me ethnic unity is the key to China's progress," said Yang Wenyuan, who also uses his Islamic name, Sulaiman. He condemned the attacks in Xinjiang, which he said were perpetrated by terrorists.
In Yongning, Muslims also said that they live in peace with other ethnic groups, facing no restrictions in performing their religious duties.
"It's easy to express our religious belief here," said Ma Yuefang, 70, on a visit to Najiahu Grand Mosque, one of the oldest mosques in China built in traditional Han style.
According to Ma, men come to the mosque to pray, while most women pray at home. However, a group of 20 to 30 women sometimes pray and recite the Koran at a separate hall in the mosque's compound.
An official of the mosque, Ding Yaoxian, said on normal day about 300 people visit and pray at the mosque, a figure that can swell to 1,000 on Fridays.
Jin Chunzi, Deputy Director General at the Department of Policies and Laws at the State Ethnic Affairs Commission, said protection of minorities, including Muslims, is the constitutional mandate of the Chinese Government.
Preferential policies for the minorities were introduced to keep the national unity of the world's most populous country.
"We practice three main principles with regard to relationship between the majority and minority groups. First is equality among all nationals. Second is respect and protection of religious groups, believes and minority groups. Third is assistance for minority groups and those living in less developed regions," she said.
She said her office has drafted laws and regulations to protect minorities and their religious beliefs in accordance with UN treaties on the protection of minority and indigenous rights.
For China, minorities are not a minor issue. As an old Chinese saying goes, minorities cannot live without the majority, the majority cannot live without the minorities and minorities cannot live without fellow minorities.

Police in China shoot dead six in restive Xinjiang
Police in China shoot dead six in restive Xinjiang - Yahoo News
BEIJING (Reuters) - A group of "mobsters" on Monday tried to set off an explosive device in a business district in China's troubled western region of Xinjiang, prompting police to shoot six of them dead, the local government said.
Hundreds of people have been killed in resource-rich Xinjiang, strategically located on the borders of central Asia, in violence in the past two years between the Muslim Uighur people who call the region home and ethnic majority Han Chinese.
The government has also blamed attacks elsewhere in China, including Beijing, on Islamist militants from Xinjiang.
Monday's violence came two months after 15 people were killed when a group threw explosives into a crowded street of vendors selling food in Xinjiang.
Police in Shule county, south of the old Silk Road city of Kashgar, had acted on a tip-off about "a suspicious person carrying an explosive device", the Xinjiang government said on its official news website.
An axe-wielding individual tried to attack police officers and set off an explosive device, prompting the officers to shoot him, the government said.
The report added that police trying to dispose of an explosive device were attacked by five "thugs" who sought to detonate it, but did not make clear if this was a separate incident. Police killed the men, according to the government.
The report said there were no other casualties, but gave no details of the assailants.
China's allegations were an "excuse to cover up the excessive use of force", said Dilxat Raxit, spokesman for exile group the World Uyghur Congress.
"China's hostile policy will only provoke more turbulence there," he said in emailed comments.
Many Uighurs call Xinjiang East Turkestan. China often blames frequent outbreaks of violence there on extremists agitating for an independent nation.
Exiled Uighur groups and human rights activists say the government's repressive policies in Xinjiang, including controls on Islam, have provoked unrest. Beijing denies this.
In a previous outbreak of violence in Shule in 2008, at the time of the Olympic Games in Beijing, three security officers were stabbed to death and another wounded by attackers police described as "terrorists".
Xinjiang is crucial to China's growing energy needs, but analysts say the bulk of the proceeds from sales of its resources has gone to majority Han Chinese, stoking resentment among Uighurs.
China has blamed the East Turkestan Islamic Movement for past attacks, but experts and rights groups have cast doubt on its existence as a cohesive group.

I am surprised this news is not discussed yet, but just reading this article, the oozing double stand is just astonishing from such established western media giving what recently happened in Paris. I guess they were attacked by "mobsters" as well.
Well done police, good job btw.

Of course the Paris attacks were freedom fighters while Xinjiang separatists are terrorists. It's time to let truth prevail.
The police are sharp this time. Now we arrest the terrorists' families and interrogate them without mercy.
