Help with dress for little girl?

I'm hoping that someone has already made this and knows what to do. I'm a novice and I really wanted to make this cute little dress for my daughter. But I don't understand how the two front pieces are to go together. The top part has a straight bottom where you need to sew, the bottom skirt portion is curved. Am I supposed to sew the top piece along the curve of the bottom or what? I am confused!

Here is a link to the pattern instructions.

Cute jumper! Don't give up on the other dress. I have been sewing for 30 plus years. A few months back while making a butterfly quilt I got to know my seam ripper again, the pcs were so much alike and laid out where they happened to get moved around and needless to say I put it together wrong. It all came together after ripping it apart more than once, fortunately I haven't done that in years. I like the t-shirt refashioning, I have 30 or 40 of them that need to do more than just hang in my closet.
