Where do you people attend Mass? Bare backs? Shoulders showing? Refuses to wear a veil?  I have seen very little of what is described. How can someone have a bare back? Wearing a halter top?  Too tight, too short, slits that go to up to where? 
Toe honest, I’ve seen almost nobody wearing clothes of this sort to church. If I do, it is usually  a visitor who does not know better. More commonly, it’s an older woman in pants than any of the above. Occasionally, if it’s extremely hot, a small child will remove a sweater to reveal a sleeveless top. Young boys, like pre-school age on down may have on shorts.
I’d say someone who is tempted by toddlers and infants has a very serious problem. He needs to consult the priest.

I have seen this in resistance chapels. In the US.
I will not name and shame, though some might argue I should.

This is not always true tho - because it depends what you are looking for and why that can make the first look a sin. It's always our curiosity that gets us. 

The Holy place of God should not be an occasion of sin AT ALL when it comes to matters of the flesh!

What made the custom of men and women sitting apart during Mass, cease? This would greatly lessen occasions of sin, at least being within one's view.

If we can't get women to dress modestly in Church, then we are hardly going to get them to sit apart.

But I share your sentiment. It is sad.

The Novus Ordo changed this.

neo-SSPX :'(
Certainly there are chapels where this sort of thing does not regularly take place. Perhaps you have the blessing of attending one?
It occurs when the top does not have fabric which would normally cover the entire back, causing some amount of the back to be bare.
Thankfully, such attire is not seen in Mass, not even at the neo-SSPX if I have to go to Mass there. SSPV Mass, I’ve never seen it, either. I’ve been to resistance Masses as well, and only one can I recall a couple dressed not really immodestly, but too informally. The Mass was at a hotel and they got talking with the priest, were interested and he invited them to Mass. An extra veil was procured for the woman and she wore it.
