Stumped

I've been recently going through my WIP projects and attempting to get them all finished up and done. A few years ago I purchased fabric and made the main body of a dress inspired by a top I saw on Heavy Red. But the ruffles continue to allude me. If anyone has any suggestions on how I might go about sewing on ruffles onto a dress that is similiar to this top, I'd appreciate it.

The ruffles were probably cut in a circular shape with a hole in the middle, kind of like cutting a circle skirt, but also cutting a straight line from the center hole to the outside of the piece of fabric.

It looks like 2 half circle that had their flat side sewn up the middle, and then split of at the top around the collar.
