That'd be great, to see how it works. I was having problems conceptualising it until the tailor showed me what she'd do, but it'd be excellent to have advice from someone who's doing more or less exactly the same thing.
I looked around for someone nearby who did Bridal stuff, and found a lady who designed bridalwear, and showed her my kilt for a bit. She seemed like she knew what she was doing, and evidently she has a bunch of friends from design school who wear kilts now and then, and so has some experience.
Basically she said they'd have to move back the buckles on the right, and put the strap on the left in front of the apron and move it, without cutting or changing the material. It seems like it'll work. Pending SBB's results (or the next couple of days if impatience gets the better of me), I'll probably get her to work on it.
