I extended a bit with a deep (6") apron pleat, then made the apron 10 inches wide. I'll wear it a while and see what happens.
I'd suggest that you make the under apron at least long enough to extend past your left thigh while standing. If you make it much shorter, you'll find that when you sit down the aprons will part ways in the middle and create an opportunity for major exposure.
