If you're worried about the rise being too high one way to get round it is to fold your shirt or t shirt over the top to the level you think looks ok, can put a couple of pleats each side of the shirt or t shirt fold to gather it in more, and then put a wide belt over the top to mask the fold. I used to do this years ago as I used to wear an unissued Argyll's kilt which my Father had bought from an army surplus store when the regiment was going to disband (obviously it didn't) as the kilt was a little too long for me (waist fitted fine though). I never received any adverse comments from any fellow kilt wearer who saw it (though maybe someone will have something to say now?) .
