Gloria’s default Galar outfit balances classic Scottish knitwear with practical trekking gear: an oversized green tam, an open cable-knit hooded cardigan, and trail boots worn over a tailored button-down collar dress.
Because her pieces resemble everyday cold-weather apparel rather than fantasy armor, assembling the costume is largely an exercise in getting the proportions balanced and tweaking specific colors so the separate layers harmonize.
The Tam and Pom-Pom
Gloria’s headwear is an oversized, slouchy tam rather than a stiff military beret, sitting loose toward the crown of the head and angled backward. A Hunter Green Wool Beret provides the correct soft drape and forest-green tone. If you are wearing a synthetic wig for Gloria’s chin-length brown bob, secure the inner rim of the beret with a couple of crisscrossed bobby pins anchored into the wig cap mesh, which prevents the wool from sliding backward off the slick fibers.
To complete the cap, attach a White Pom-Pom directly to the center crown. Many craft pom-poms include a small elastic loop at the base; stitch through this loop several times with heavy-duty thread and knot it securely on the inside of the beret. This keeps the pom-pom standing upright without pinching or puckering the surrounding wool fabric.
Sourcing and Tinting the Collar Dress
Beneath the knit layers, Gloria wears a pink button-down dress characterized by its rounded Peter Pan collar and vertical front button placket. The Pink Peter Pan Collar Button-Front Nurse Scrub Dress provides that exact collar shape, short sleeves, and durable twill drape without requiring scratch garment construction.
Gloria’s in-game dress sits at mid-thigh, just peeking out an inch or two beneath the hem of her cardigan. If the scrub dress runs longer on your frame, taking up the hem creates the compact, layered proportions seen in the character art. Check that the front buttons line up cleanly after hemming so the center placket remains balanced.
Commercial uniform pinks can sometimes appear pale or pastel under bright convention hall lighting, whereas Gloria’s dress has a warm, saturated magenta-rose tone. Dipping the dress in a bath of Fuschia Pink Fabric Dye shifts the fabric to a richer shade. Dissolve the dye thoroughly in hot water, dampen the dress evenly before submerging, and stir constantly for five to ten minutes until the desired depth is reached before rinsing.
The Hooded Cardigan
The outer layer is a Gray Hooded Cable-Knit Cardigan with Toggle Buckles, worn completely open. The thick textured cable weave, roomy hood, and horn-and-loop toggles give Gloria her signature cozy travel aesthetic. Leave the toggles unfastened so the front button line of the dress and the rounded Peter Pan collar remain clearly displayed.
Heavy knit sweaters have a tendency to slide backward off smooth dress fabric when moving around. Tacking a small safety pin or a strip of double-sided apparel tape inside each shoulder seam anchors the cardigan directly to the scrub dress, maintaining a consistent drape throughout a long day of walking.
Boots, Socks, and the Trainer Satchel
For the lower half, Green Crew Socks pull up to mid-calf, sitting right above rugged Brown Lace Hiking Boots. Gloria’s footwear is built for hiking through the Wild Area, so trail boots with lugged soles, padded ankle collars, and visible eyelet lacing suit her appearance far better than sleek urban ankle boots. Let the socks scrunch down slightly at the top of the boot collar to match her relaxed outdoor style.
The Brown Satchel Backpack rounds out the gear by providing the heavy faux-leather field bag Gloria carries across Galar. Beyond serving as a faithful visual piece with its front buckle straps and structured rectangular shape, the satchel functions as your primary convention storage. It easily holds a water bottle, wallet, phone, and convention haul without forcing you to carry modern shopping bags that disrupt photos.
