I&#8217;d forgotten what a pain in the butt that thing is to tie. Thankfully, my father is patient, kind, and always willing to lend a hand or two when I&#8217;m having trouble with my obi. I realized that the mauve on my new <a href=\"http:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/?p=243\">embroidred obiage<\/a> tied into the stripes very nicely, so I decided to use that too.<\/p>\n<p>My dad helped me align my obi so there are three awesome, adorable spiders visible. The tare is a bit long, but that was an intentional decision for optimum spiderosity. Yes, spiderosity is totally a word.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I&#8217;m quite pleased with this outfit. I think maybe an embroidred haneri of some sort might increase the vintage feel, but the white works fine for the time being.<\/p>\n<p>Bonus: I had to kick someone out of &#8220;his&#8221; chair before taking the pictures. He was not amused.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align:
