Yes.

Length isn't the issue. It's the fell. You can lengthen the fell, but shortening the fell is not possible if the pleats have been cut to reduce bulk. You might be about to shorten the fell by about 1" if you really were careful and reinforced the cut section in the back, but I've only ever speculated about that in my head so not sure if you'd really want to do that.
