Pakiṇṇaka 6

The Buddha was staying in Sāvatthī. At that time, bhikkhunīs gave the going forth to women from the Sakyan, Mallan, and Licchavi clans, as well as from very wealthy families. They brought their ornamented dresses when they went forth. When women from poor families were getting married, they all came on the wedding day and rented (the dresses) from them. Lay people blamed them: “These are rental agents of clothes, not renunciates.” The bhikkhunīs for this reason went and informed the World-honored One. … They answered: “We really did this.” The Buddha said: “From now on, it’s no longer allowed to bring women’s ornamented dresses when going forth. One should make the candidate relinquish them, and then give the going forth. ‘Relinquishing’ means if a woman comes and wants to go forth, she should be made to relinquish lay people’s items for decorating the body. If she thinks: “At a certain time, there will be a famine, and almsfood will be hard to get, or at the time of old age and sickness, I’ll need liquid remedies and medicines. Women only rarely can obtain these things,” she should place them in someone’s house. If a woman comes with her worldly ornamented dresses, if a bhikkhunī gives her the going forth while she has them, she breaks a minor vinaya rule.” This is called the rule on bringing ornamented dresses when going forth.
