    No one will ever see the underapron, and piecing the top band just adds a bulky spot. Align the top band with the apron, and let the rest fall where it may! Every once in awhile, I make a kilt where, by total happenstance, the tartan lines up in both the apron and the underapron. I'm just finishing one where that happened, but it is very very rare.
