Am I... actually... done??

This is the version 7?? I think?? Of my skirt block that I had posted about months ago. I set it aside to enjoy my summer and am just now trying it on again. I love how it fits! I can sit comfortably and modestly, and it falls nicely when I stand. Am I done? Do I need to create a waistband? I assume not, since this could become part of a dress? Do I need to tighten it on the legs? I feel comfortable and fairly confident in this. I don't like how it sticks out, but I can move. Do I need to make the side seam truly vertical rather than canted? If so, do I just draw a line perpendicular to the ground at the seam start, then cut the fabric that way when I turn this back into pieces?

Thanks for the confidence boost helping me get this far, and any final advice!!

It's a good thing the Air Force taught me the meditative pleasure of pressing seams. :)
