Would that help solve the problem?
I've thought about the notion of hiding an extra "accordion"...type box pleat under the over-apron to build in some extra "give". I haven't tried it, but it *might* work. This is similar to your idea.
Might be worth a shot, confusedpollak...

If you regard every pleat edge as an opportunity for shaping it seems logical to put extra pleats in when and where extra coverage is required.
