What have I agreed to?

Initially, my understanding was that if you were married you wore a sari and if not, you wore punjabis. I was fine with that as the punjabis are comfortable and I can dress myself. But this trip, I have been told that it is okay for girls that are not married to wear a sari on occasion, like dressing up. So, after many requests by the Children's Home girls, as well as comments by a few of the ladies, I finally agreed to wear a sari to church. For those who are unfamiliar with a sari, the lady wears a short top and then has yards of fabric wrapped around her waist and brought up over her shoulder. I enjoyed watching Sharelee being "decorated" by Ruth when she wore a couple saris while she was here, but was a bit unsure about going through the process myself. Now all the clothes these ladies wear are beautiful, but there is a difference in designs and materials so I knew wanted something light and flowy rather than the heavier material. Since I was just going to wear it once, we decided I'd just borrow one of Ruth's dresses, but I'd have to have a top made for me. So before heading into Jaggayyapet to finish my shopping, we decided to go through the options in Ruth's wardrobe. She kept pulling out the heavier, fancier dresses and I kept saying, I really want the light, flowy material. So we narrowed it down and I chose a dark blue printed one that didn't have any embellishments and was light and flowy. Then Ruth said, "Okay, and then you can wear this one too." She really wanted me to wear this beautiful, bright purple one tht had a lot of gold on it. Seeing how much she wanted me to wear that one, I told her I could just wear that one, but found myself coming home from the store that night with 2 tops instead of one!!! How did that happen?!? So this morning, I wore this beautiful dress to church and in 2 weeks, my last Sunday here, I will wear the fancy dress Ruth wants me to wear! Actually, it wasn't too bad. It did slip a little in the back, but it wasn't as uncomfortable as I'd expected.
