DWFII, I can say without a doubt that only moving the buckles downward on the kilt will not work. First, there is a strap hole in the overapron for the left strap. Second the StillWater kilt is tapered all the way to the top, has no stabilizer, and carries some of the buckle/strap tention in the waistband at the top. The whole top of the kilt would need to be rebuilt, and a rise and stabilizer added at the very least.
That being said, I only know what I have read from Barb and the Wizard. I have absolutely no kiltmaking skills, and if one or all of our kiltmakers wants to say I am wrong, I will happily apologize and say I am wrong. 
* Guess you would also need to adjust the steeking line at the bottom of the fell in the rebuild...Probably other stuff too...

I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
