Fold down the raw edges of the shirt around the arm opening. Take the straps that you sewed earlier. Pin the straps to the shirt onto the top corners of the bodice. Sew the tubes onto the fabric. Wear the dress."
Fold the excess fabric down, angling the fold either outward or inward.  Pin the fold into place. For a scalloped neckline, pin the fold inwards. For a v-neck, pin outwards. Hand sew the fold so the sewing is less prominent. Pin them to the fabric and then sew them. Fold the open edges inward just a little. Hold the fold to make sure that it stays even. Tuck the fabric of the bodice inside the tube and pin it down'  Tie the tube ties around your neck and zip up the zipper.
