How to Sew?
1. With right sides facing join the front and back bodices at the shoulders.
2. Finish the armhole with bias tape
3. Finish the sides. Start pinning a long bias tape to both sides of the top. While pinning it, sandwich fabric ties under the bias tape on each side and sew. Fold the bias tape to the wrong side and sew.
4. Sew the hemline of the top.
5. Finish the neckline by attaching bias tape.

Women's side tie ruffle hem top
Please check the link below to get some idea on how to attach the bias strips to the sides of the top, as well as the fabric ties.
You can completely hide the bias tape under, or you can use a contrast fabric as shown in the baby dress sewing tutorial.
You can attach the fabric ties in different ways you prefer. You can sandwich the fabric ties under the bias tape, and then fold down the bias tape; attach them after you have folded down and sewn the bias tape; or attach them on the outside over the bias tape. The design choice is up to you!
I will soon post a step-by-step picture tutorial.
