The bottom of the Fell area must be fairly close to the crest of the hips and buttocks. If the bottom of the Fell is too low you will again get the shower curtain effect.
If the bottom of the Fell is too high the pleats will not hang and will splay out.

How much harder is that "a little harder to adjust the hip circumference"? Can it be done without completely remaking the kilt?

I have a woollen handmade (unknown maker) about 7yd kilt with OK waist size but the hip size is too big and it has quite bad shower curtains in the back. So the hip sizing should be taken in a bit.
Is there any way to do it simple?
The fell is on the right place, not too high or low. The kilt seems to have stabiliser, haven't opened it but no stretching happens if I try to pull the buckles.

This kilt is showing some marks of wear (if you have a close look) and the straps had got loose and the interfacing ends did not meet the straps in the aprons. Already fixed that and pressed the kilt. Got the kilt from ebay for about £21 including shipping. The kilt will never be a "black tie event kilt" so this resizing needs just to end to be better looking than the curtains. If I can get rid of those curtains I will have a perfect "jeans equivalent" kilt for what ever activities I do not want to endanger a better kilt.
