As much as possible most of these women of God dress to make it known that the God they serve is rich and the One who owns all treasures of the world including gold, diamond, silver and the rest of it.

In their own way, they dazzle to tell the world that they are serving the living God. Although, those who are not dressing like them have their reasons for whatever they are doing, these women have proved to us that, being spiritual should not make you old school.

The dress sense of these amazing women of God makes them glamorous, stylish and elegant whenever occasion calls for it.
