Actually, if you are reasonably adept with a needle and thread, it is not a difficult sewing project. You will move the strap on the underapron further back from the edge of the underapron and re-anchor it. But don't sew it down right up to the edge of the apron or you won't get any benefit. The idea is to move it back and then when you thread it through the buckle, the underapron can go further underneath on that side. On the overapron, you want to leave the strap alone and move the buckle further back on the kilt. Effectively, you are making the under and over aprons wrap around your body a little more. Works well for smaller size changes, but anything over an inch or so should probably have more work done, like deepening the left pleat, and the right reverse pleat to take up some material, and possibly narrowing the aprons a bit. If it is a really large difference, then you will probably need to do a re-build.
