Moving onto my opinion of each dress.

The ​Aurora Butterfly Coord looks great on ​Hime​! I thought the design of this Premium was reminiscent to dresses from Angely Sugar ​and Aurora Fantasy when looking at it, but couldn't think of any in particular. In all, I like the butterfly motif of Hime's dress.

The Asian Night Coord ​looks amazing on '''​Yozora! ​I thought the design of this Premium was reminiscent to dresses from Sakurairo Kaden'''. The dresses that came to mind were the Moonlit Classical Flower, Sunset Classical Flower and '''Hagoromo Princess Coords! '''​I say that because they're all similar in design. From the tops, to the skirts and sandals. I may be mistaken, but it's like we've gone back to the time of Ancient Japan while seeing Miyabi Fujiwara and Yozora perform in these dresses. In all, I like that Yozora's dress is elegant, as well as having a sense of regality.

The Girls' Flag Coord ​looks awesome on '''Tsubasa! ​I thought the design of this Premium was reminiscent to dresses from Swing Rock'''​. Dance Fusion also. The dresses that came to mind were the Swing Star Coordfrom Swing Rock, and the Bright World  and Silver Robot Coords from Dance Fusion! I say that because their styles are somewhat similar, but different in design. In all, I like that Tsubasa's dress has a cool, race car theme.

The Tropical Hula Girl Coord looks really good on '''Yuzu! ​I thought the design of this Premium was reminiscent to dresses from Bohemian Sky and Vivid Kiss'''. The dresses that came to mind were the Oriental Libra Coord from Bohemian Sky, and the Street Art Coord from '''Vivid Kiss! '''​I say that because their styles are similar, but different in design. From the tops, to the skirts and sandals. In all, I like Yuzu​​'s dress is very colorful and that it screams fun.

Some people felt that these dresses were too simple(?) to be considered Premium Rare, based on their designs, style and size, or length of the skirts. I respect their opinion, but did they forget that it was like that in the beginning of the original series when Ichigo and the others got theirs'?

Out of S4's second set of Premium Rare Dreses, I'd have to say that my favorites are Hime's and Yozora's.

Well, that's it for today's blog. Feel free to post comments, giving your opinion on each dress that's mentioned, as well as saying which is your favorite.
