Remember that the apron and pleats taper from the hips to the center of the buckles and then is straight or even flares slightly in the rise above the center of the buckles. So, removing the top of the rise just makes the rise shorter - the kilt still rides at the waist at the center of the buckles, so the bottom still hangs to the same level.
