Moving buckles - how much is too much??

[Barb T]

After you move the apron-edge buckles toward the center back of the kilt, you move the underapron strap toward the center of the underapron (in this case 10.5").

When she put the kilt on, the underapron edge now actually wraps around her 10.5" before the strap goes through the kilt buttonhole. If that doesn't make sense, I'll draw a sketch. But that way, you haven't altered the kilt itself, and the buckles and strap can be moved back again to fit someone bigger. In a band, that's really the only good solution to kilt fit - you can't be taking a kilt apart and altering every time the kilt moves from one person to another.
