Minecraft – My Minecraft skin is broken (does not display correctly)

minecraft-java-edition

I got a skin, but it doesn't fully work.

Now I have my head, and nothing else. My body is just black; nothing is there. The skin seems to be only affecting my head and the bottom of my feet.

I used the newest version of the MinersNeedCoolShoes skin editor.
Here's a screenshot:

How can I fix my skin?

As @QbsidianH20 said, your skin is on the wrong layer.
The only way anybody's going to see your skin is if you turn on your secondary layers in the settings menu. If you're playing 1.7 or before - Tough luck as only that bottom black layer is going to show.

Consider shifting your body up 16 pixels. Also, your other arm seem to be missing too.
To fix that, simply copy your current arm texture and flip the textures (as needed).
Use this template if you do not know where to position textures for body parts.

Note: By 'black', I meant a transparent pixel (a pixel that has no color on it).
