Matthew Poole and continuators on Acts 9:39

39 Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas made while she was with them.

It was strange that Peter should be sent for, or that he should go on such an account, viz. to raise one that was dead; but God, who had ordered this Miracle for the manifestation of his truth and glory, so wrought in their hearts, that they did this out of faith; tho if others should think to imitate it, it would be but presumption.

Here needed no mourning women to be hired; the death of this good woman was a common loss: these coats were made by Dorcas in her life time, to cloath the poor and naked with all.
