On edit: ditto what tartan Hiker said. Also I often find that when playing with the width of the overapron I end up needing to secure it not only at the waist per Alan's manual but again 4-5 inches further down. I know, it's like the dreaded "unnecessary second hip buckle" on a traditional kilt. But whereas with a wide apron (approaching 1/2-way around you) the second buckle is superfluous, on narrower-aproned kilts I find they often don't hang and move right unless I secure it, either with a second bit of velcro (practical) or a strap and buckle (looks sharp.) This is aggravated is someone with muscular thighs. That's why kilts with really narrow aprons (UK or AK) have additional securing points via snaps.

It looks as if you built enough taper in to minimize this on your first one, just a heads up for the next.
I've taken to stitching down the left hand edge of my over-aprons on my X-Kilts to the fell line, for exactly these reasons.
