    If we're talking about remaking the kilt to make it a lot smaller, you can't just unstitch pleats and remake the kilt, because, if the pleats are cut out, you can't just use the fabric from a former pleat to be part of the new apron. It would require cutting the tartan to remove a chunk and then putting a hidden seam in. Big job. Better to sell it and buy a new one that really fits.
