I recommend this approach and found it was quite easy, if you only need to reduce up to 2 or 3 inches.

If you need to remove more than that, it is a little trickier. I tried it to remove about 6 inches, and it worked and looked fine while I was standing around. But whenever I sat down and stood back up, the extra pleats bunched up behind the front apron, and I had to straighten them out with a shake. Not the biggest problem in the world, but I'd rather do without it. I re-did the under apron and reverse pleat to take up the excess.

So use the easy buckle moving technique if you only need to remove up to 2 or 3 inches, or if you are mostly standing while wearing it, or only wear it once a year or so. If not, then look into adjusting the under-apron and reverse pleat to make it fit better (or sell it and swap for a smaller kilt )

If you can put thread in a needle, you can do the strap adjustment. Just follow Barb's posting above and it's pretty straightforward.
