THROW OUT THE PATTERN

So I made this dress two weeks ago and it came out just awful. It wasn't the material, I really like it. The fit was terrible and even though I could have tweaked it more I just didn't want to. So here is what I am thinking. I am going to cut the top right off!!! Yupp! Right off with the top. I am sure it will make a nice skirt and I won't have to deal with the straps coming down every five minutes. I was going to throw out the pattern but you know what?.....Maybe I will just cut the top off the pattern pieces too! What do you think? Anyone?
