Included with The Herta’s coat and inner dress are a hat, headdress, necklace, neckline trim, earrings, cuff pieces, chains, back accessory, shoe decorations and clear shoulder straps.
That is a substantial accessory list for one character. The Full Set costs $138.99, with polyester fabric specified for the costume. A wig and shoes are excluded, so those two decisions remain part of planning the finished outfit.
The scholar beneath the witch hat
The Herta is the genius Emanator of Erudition and master of Herta Space Station in Honkai: Star Rail. This costume represents her grown-up form, whose long dark coat and witch-style hat give scholarly authority a distinctly fantastical outline. Those two elements establish the character before the smaller ornaments receive much attention.
For a portrait, a patient expression and an unhurried stance suit that formidable intellect. Leave room above the brim and below the coat hem in at least one photograph; a tight crop would lose the relationship between the outfit’s two most recognizable shapes.
Two lengths define The Herta’s silhouette
The coat and inner dress need separate attention when comparing measurements. In XS, the coat’s back length is 113 cm, while the inner dress measures 57 cm at the back. In XL, those lengths become 125 cm and 65 cm. The long outer layer therefore extends substantially beyond the dress in either available size.
The coat sleeves measure 41 cm in XS and 45 cm in XL. The chart suggests heights of 146–152 cm for XS and 172–178 cm for XL. In inches, the coat back lengths are 44.5 for XS and 49.2 for XL, compared with inner dress back lengths of 22.4 and 25.6 inches respectively.
Use an existing coat and dress as references for where those lengths would fall on you. Consider your intended footwear during that comparison, particularly when judging the lower edge of the coat for a full-length photograph.
XS and XL must fit both layers
Only XS and XL are currently available. Although the measurement chart also lists S, M, L, XXL and XXXL, those sizes cannot currently be ordered. XS lists a coat bust of 82–86 cm and an inner-dress bust of 76–80 cm, with a dress waist of 60–64 cm.
For XL, the coat bust is 98–102 cm; the dress bust is 92–96 cm and its waist is 76–80 cm. These are garment measurements taken flat by hand, with a possible difference of 1–3 cm. Compare both layers with clothing you already own rather than relying on the suggested height alone.
Leave room for the smaller ornaments
The necklace, earrings and neckline trim reward a closer portrait after the full-length view. A separate back photograph gives the supplied back accessory its own attention. For additions beyond the package, a long purple wig and dark heeled boots are suggested pairings; the supplied shoe decorations do not replace footwear.
With only the Full Set offered, settle on XS or XL by the coat and dress measurements; there is no alternate style or color to select.
