What do I do differently with kilt #2?

Short question: Will an inadequately shaped apron cause the inverted pleat to pull forward? (See photo below.)

Long question:

I recently completed my first "practice" kilt, an 8-yarder made from black denim, fairly faithfully to The Art of Kiltmaking.

The biggest deviation I made from the books is that I was conservative with the shaping of the apron and underapron; I had read a thread here somewhere recommending against doing a curved flare for the apron and underapron edges, so I just drew the edges straight out on a fairly gentle angle.

Now that I see where everything hangs and lines up when I put the garment on, the reason for that flared shape is much more obvious and I see where more of an angle would have made a big difference. As it turned out the apron edge is a bit skimpy and lets the underapron show through (not helped by the fact that I decided not to put a fringe on it because the denim didn't fringe nicely), but beyond that it seems like the front part of the inverted pleat is pulling forward more than it should:



The kilt seems to fit pretty well at both waist and hips; the pleats hang straight down in the back and in general there aren't any places that feel like they're strained. The fell is a little bit longer than it should be, but My intuition tells me that the inverse pleat would hang much more naturally if the apron was wide enough at the bottom to hang straight down and cover the underapron. Any tips or observations would be much appreciated!
