It shouldn't make sense to you, ever.

They aren't Clothing.

They're Appearance Modifiers. They don't have to respect our fabricy ways.

In all technicality, when she moves it - It is literally a different outfit every step of the way, from hooded to unhooded, and back - Because they don't wear clothing

They have Appearance modifers that are "melded to their body"

This is also why Yellow diamond's arms seem to come from her shoulder pieces, rather than through her shoulder pieces, they don't look to connect to her torso at all. - This is also why in The Trial, Blue diamond's sleeves seem to be "flexible solids" rather than openings/holes - Because they're just Hardlight Appearance modifers like the rest of their Gem-forms.

Everything that comes from their gem is the same "material", just at some bizarre difference in density, coloration/intensity/etc

This likely means that you can't see up her hood/cloak either, Nor Sapphire's dress or Lapis's Skirt - They wouldn't just be "Free" hanging, no matter how much they seem to resemble so or our clothing, they'd all be of a similar state as Blue's Sleeves - Not quite a hole - but yet, not quite a solid either, as their hand/arm/leg/etc seems to move "through" it (around in it) as if it /were/ a hole, and the rest of it "acts" like loose-fit/baggier clothes would.

The same is also the case in the Zircon's outfit - though hers are very obvious - as hers are basically puffed out areas - they don't appear at all "different" and as flexible as Blue's hood - but they're certainly just as "not melded looking" but actually still not Clothes, and so are Projected from the gemstone in such a fashion that they /seem/ to be puffed out.

Again. Make no mistake.

Its not clothing. None of it came off when she was poofed, not even her monocle....which actually brings me to an interesting sub-point...

Her Monocle

Garnet's Shades

and Peri's Visor/shades....

Garnet has had her shades knocked off before, and unlike Peri - she doesn't reform with them on, nor did she form the first time with them.... but the shades are most assuredly a type of appearance modifier, she makes them like she summons her weapons....She makes them in a fashion similar to how she, or any gem, summons their weapon, at least.... Its a very interesting.. thing.. dunno what I can even make of that. But yeah.

Point is.

Not clothes.

Her hood and those holes do not have to exist in both states, heck, when she puts the hood up, It doesn't even have to be even remotely close to the same look, for all the crewniverse and Blue Diamond care, it could go from being an unhooded gown to a hooded skirt with pants and/or leggings, and be short sleeved, and still be the same "thing"
