The forgotten basics of veil

I know, there are so many kinds of fashions todays. Veils for muslimah are modified in such ways so that people will gladly wear them. It is really good coz it encourages more people to wear them. But, something is missing. Something really basic to be forgotten.

Its the purpose of the veil itself. The conditions and the veil should be.

{31}And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands' fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers or their brothers' sons, or their sisters' sons, or their women, or the slaves whom their right hands possess, or male servants free of physical needs, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex; and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments. And O ye Believers! turn ye all together towards Allah, that ye may attain Bliss.

~An Nur, verse 31

I can't deny, veils with modern styles will definitely attract more women to wear them. But there's a bit mistake. Most of the veils don't really cover the chest. It was written in the Holy Book, Al Quran. We can't simply forget stuff like this. It's Allah's words. So, I wish that these veils can be recreated or improved so that they fulfill the syarak. Its what we say.." what you wish in your heart never make how you make them done halal".
