I had the misfortune today to cross paths with one of the local “burka women” who by the looks of her wanted to be invisible (though her ‘statuesqeness’) made that improbable. Including some contraption of a veil that covered her face. I recall a halacha saying that a woman cannot be compelled to cover her face, and in the textbook case of Tamar, it is taken to the mark of both tznius, and znus. And chazal disapproved it from a similar angle, “lolam yehe adam ragil bikrovosov, so invisibility cloaks are improper.
