We only dressed up in these for pictures.
Some wore them on Sunday for Church services.
"WHAT TO WEAR? WHAT TO WEAR?"
Well, the good news is if your female- you don't need to pack very much clothing. Not because it's hot in India and you won't be wearing much, it's actually quite the opposite.
Yes, it is very hot in India but the women are very modest!

While you are in India you will dress in traditional Indian clothing, which means no tight fitting clothes. (top or bottom)
Rising Star has loads of beautiful, comfortable Indian clothing in many shapes and sizes that you get to help yourself to each day. At the end of the day it is washed and ready for the next person. It's fun to wear these clothes.
You will want to bring clothes to wear for the days you will be doing construction. (projects)
You will sweat a lot so choose things accordingly.
Again, nothing tight on top or bottom. Loose shirts and athletic shorts are great. (No short shorts) I wore clothes I would wear to the gym and learned they were too tight. Let me stress the word "Baggy"

Most days you are fine wearing flip flops but you will want sneakers for the construction days and the days you will be in colonies.
Long Skirts are great.
These are Rising Star Clothes
Bringing your own leggings is handy. They are worn with long shirt-like tops. (see above photo)
Having your own leggings ensures you will have some that fit your body type. (it's ok to have leggings as long as you're wearing LONG tops)

On weekends you will be "tourists."
You can wear your American clothes when you leave campus if you desire or you can continue to wear the Indian clothes. This is a time you can purchase your own Indian clothing too.

I had this Tailor made in a village
If you choose to worship on Sunday plan accordingly. A Rising Star van does travel into Chennai for LDS Sunday services.
It's always fun to dress up for photos in the beautiful Sari's. That is- if you can figure out how to get it on.
Unfortunately, the men don't get the same treatment as the women. They will need to bring all their clothing. Shorts are fine. Here are some idea's:
Remember, wash is done daily so packing lightly is alright.
