Is there any way to alter this dress so it doesn't look horrible on me?

I made this dress from a lovely cotton lawn. I did a toile first and it turned out fine. But the final garment is horrible (it is complete except a final hem). The bodice is too wide across the shoulders and the armholes are too big. The skirt poofs out funny and makes me look heavier.

Right now I'm thinking of turning it into an elastic waist skirt and just scrapping the bodice.
