Last but not least, the feels nice on me but I will not even be posting pictures of me in it until I modify it. It certainly accentuates the male physique. Here is a quote from Forrest Gump, "That is all I am going to say about that."
I think I can maybe add a pleat or something in the front. I am just not one to be walking around "exposing" myself.
OK this is what I see that you ordered:

As for the color - what you sees is not what you gets - still yet it can't be all that bad.
It was supposed to be a custom made to size skirt - what could go wrong here - maybe used that new metric measurement.
Maybe you inhaled while measuring once - where you should have exhaled and measured twice and put a couple of fingers in for good measure
Not too tight just right
Curious how do you get into that darn skirt ?
I don't see a zipper - button panel or even a break in the waist ?
Maybe it is elastic (a pull on - stretch to fit) although it doesn't appear that way.
It certainly accentuates the male physique
I don't completely agree here quite the opposite men are not so wasp waist over that much area - the waist band should be much narrower
with more skirt less waist material.
So you are thinking of a modification:
Suggestion add two panels - perhaps box pleats one on each side where a side seam would be - leave the flat front aspect as is.
By adding panels at the side the waist can be altered if this is necessary.
The added panels should be a solid color - lighter to offer contrast.
But that is just my recommendation -
