Extending the waisline of a kilt?

[Coder]

The red in the swatch is ever so slightly lighter than in the skirt. Enough, I think for it to be noticeable unless the new material can be placed under the apron. Your call, though.

I’m using it to extend the flap that goes under. I agree the match isn’t great… but I may not have any other choice. I ran across a vintage kilt/skirt in this tartan a while back, but declined to purchase it. I was concerned the weight/color?size of the pattern wouldn’t match.

Then go for it and don't look back.

The problem you are going to have if the aprons don't completely over lap is the gap (slit) may be revealing when just going about routine standing sitting business
