Question :

How should a Muslim woman’s clothing in front of the disbeliever women?

Answer :

She can show her face, palms, and some hair. But she should not exhibit herself so that the disbelieving women may even describe her or take a photograph of her. Because they are not trustworthy.

Basically the nakedness (that to be covered) of a women in front of other women is the part between her navel and knees. But she should not show all of it. She can show the face, palms and hair, not the rest. Because the disbelievers are not trustworthy and their hatred and enmity towards Muslims are extreme.
