Bulge at underapron strap

[Tartan Tess]

Hi All
I just made a tank for a woman 35.5 "W 44" H with a 1.5" rise.
The overapron lines up perfect but there is a bit of a "Pooch" where the underapron strap comes through the hole on the front apron.
The straps are at the last hole and the over apron fits nice and snug (except for the pooch) but the underapron is a little loose.
This is my first kilt with a "womans measurements" I am used to guy kilts with no shaping.I did all measurements by the book except the shorter rise. did that goof something up? not having a full 2" rise?
So how can I fix this? do I move the straps a little back towards the center of the apron? will the kilt "settle" after it has been worn a bit.

Thanks for any advice
