I still stand by my assertion that your statement, "If the pleats were not cut out then you could remove one or more pleats each side of the apron edges that you just removed the apron edges from.You cannot simply eliminate a pleat on each if the pleats were cut out between the bottom of the fell and the top of the kilt though", was misleading, indicating to the less experienced that it was not possible.
It depends on where the cut out pleats were done. If they were done in the center back or there abouts, no worries mate.
