After you finish cutting the fabric, it's time to sew. Lay the fabric on the belt (mine is a think one, n rmb the belt u choose should hv the braid structure) to make the fabric balance on both side.

I like the concept and its very cool but a few things I'd do differently. Make the skirt even in the front and wear the skirt with a body con mini dress black so it would have a contrasting colour. Great job making it from scratch with no pattern, though.
