Had the same problem with my first kilt only I measured wrong thought that it would be okay, but always felt loose. I took mine to a local alterations shop here in town and had them move the strap on the left side in on the apron about an inch to inch and a half, also had them move the buckles on the right side the same amount. Worked out perfect great fit and it only cost fifteen dollars. That five dollars per move. Oh by the way welcome to the rabble from sunny Arizona.
