If the sleeves don’t have any gathers or hemming to be done, you can just pin them to the armholes, matching the notches and the shoulder seam. Either treating the lining and main layer of the bodice as one, or leaving the lining out. Here’s a flutter sleeve example. This is probably the easiest type of top as it has no sleeves, and hence the perfect first example of a lined bodice. The front part consists of three panels.

Think about, for example, sewing a miniature pencil skirt hem! Don’t close the side seams before you have attached the sleeves. It’s much easier to sew the sleeves on while the bodice lays flat like this. Also the sleeve seams should not be closed yet.
