What we tell members of our club is to attach the strap to the skirt. 
Cut a slit thru the skirt to pass the strap thru and then glue in 
place - Aquaseal will do.   Then use Fastex buckles to attach the 
strap to the PFD.  

If the crotch strap is uncomfortable, I wonder if you couldn't attach 
the PFD to a pair of heavy duty paddling shorts, suspender style?  
Neoprene shorts, for example.
