It is butted against the first box pleat. The reason why it looks like that is because it is butted against the box pleat at the top. The bottom is wider than the top so it will overlap. Or should I have butted it up against the box pleat at the bottom and let the top of the apron be 1" from the pleat?

I would line up the edges.

The far left-hand edge of the over apron should lie right next to the "forward-facing edge" of box pleat #1. I'd also sew down the left hand edge of the over-apron, say 6 inches or so, though you could leave it floating, like sydnie7 does.

Whatever the case, the over-apron does not lie on top of any part of the first box-pleat.

If in fact that is NOT what you've done, and there is no overlap, then I'm not sure what's going on.
