Ayin, Was it a pleat adjacent to the apron that you performed that "operation" on, or something like a Stillwater?

I'd be worried that a back pleat on the OP's kilt might have had the excess material cut out above the fell (assuming it's a properly constructed full weight wool kilt), in which case opening such a pleat might be a problem, no?

Best regards,
