learning how to make a skirt

So, im trying to learn how to make skirts but every time i put it on in the end it looks funny. ive tried so many different times and different ways and they all look dumb. i have an entire plastic drawer that full of skirts that i made that i will never wear. i dont want to get rid of them but i dont know what else to do.i might be able to wear the orange skirt and leg flairs if i am performing. it is bright yet if its dark, the orange and reds will look interesting in the fire light! i have a tight brown shirt that is similar in color  that will look super cute with the costume too!
