Moving onto my opinion of each dress.

The Dreaming Princess Coord ​looks great on Hime​! Especially since it goes well with the meaning of her first name. I tried to see if its design matched dresses from a certain era, but had no luck. I guess this would be something that you'd see a modern day princess wear. The frilled, pink bows with pink, heart shaped gems on the top and skirt were great accents to the dress. The pearls embedded in the top, as well as the pearl chains that hang from the skirt make it more feminine, along with the frills and lace that are also on the dress. The choker looks very nice with the lace, pink ribbon wrapped around it, and the blue stone hanging from it. I like that the gloves and shoes come with bracelets. Nice touch! Then to top it all off, there's the tiara and earrings. You can't be a princess without them. I like that there's a pink, heart shaped gem in the center with a diamond shaped gem of the same color sitting above it. I also like the blue, diamond shaped gems that are on the opposing sides of the tiara. The bottom being lined in pearls with a pink bow at the center added a nice touch to the tiara, and I must say makes it very unique.

This Premium Dress reminds me of the one that Ichigo Hoshimiya wore in the first season of the original series. The '''Aurora Kiss Coord! '''​I say that because they're similar in design, except different. Mainly by looking at the tops.

I'm sure that a small/large group of people didn't like Hime's first Premium because they felt that it didn't look right for performances that weren't categorized as Cute. I mean, she wore this dress for her duo and solo performances of "Episode Solo," and people thought that it was out of place. Especially since they thought the skirt was too big for Hime to dance in.

The ​Arabian Sparkle Coord ​looks great on Yozora​! It definitely matches the Arabian style, but appears to be more elegant than most. The color gradients that are in the top and skirt look really good. Seeing it go from purple to blue makes it look like the ombre you see in some of the characters' hair, including Yozora​'s. I like how the top is decorated with different colored jewels. The ruby stones sitting above the chest, with gold chains hanging from them. The same goes for the chains that are connected to the collar, center and sleeves. They look really good! Speaking of the collar. I must say that the sapphire gem at the center looks amazing! The gold bangles looked very nice and were definitely for the dress. I like that the skirt was designed with a diagonal slant and has two layers. It different from what we usually see women wear, and its very unique. The gold lining at the bottom of both layers adds a nice touch. I also like that the waistband is gold and decorated with different colored gems. It looks even better with the sapphire gem that's in the center, including the gold chains that hang from the waistband. The different colored droplet shaped gems were a great addition to it. The ornament pattern of gold medallions look amazing on the top layer! Come to think of it, I'm certain that's how most designers make dresses with multiple layers. Adding a pattern of jewlry, etc. to somewhat outline the top layer. The bottom layer with the blue to violet gradient, and rows of different colored gems looks really good. The bow coming in a gradient of multiple colors makes it look really good, and the blue gem with a gold base is a perfect addition. I don't like that it comes with one earring though.

Being that her character design resembles those of Ran Shibuki​and Sora Kazesawa aaa           of the original series, people have said that this Premiun Dress is like a mixture of     Spicy Agehaand Bohemian Sky, but I don't think there's a dress from either brand that it's reminiscent to. Although, I did notice that it's reminiscent to a few dresses from Sangria Rosa​, like the Navy Pink and Red Dragee Coords! To some extent, they're similar to Yozora's Premium, but different in design.

The ​Spice Rock Coord ​looks really cool (obviously) on Tsubasa​! Very detailed and unique!

Judging by the design, its remininiscent to dresses from Swing Rock. Like everyone else, I'm disappointed that we didn't get the see Tsubasa​'s first Premium in the anime. It would've been great to have seen her perform in it.

The ​Wonderful Parfait Coord​ is something else, and fits Yuzu ​to a tee! Judging by the design, it's reminiscent to a few dresses from Happy Rainbow​.

Out of S4's first set of Premium Rare Dresses, I'd have to say that my favorites are Yozora's and Tsubasa'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.

Have a great day!
