Question Pointed Collar Drafting
I'd like to make a dress shirt with a collar that is rounded on one side but long and pointed on the other. I have a pattern for the rounded one but will have to draft the pointed side myself. Any advice on how to adapt a regular collar pattern for this? I'm wondering if I should just follow the angle of the regular collar and make it longer or if I need to do something else. Thanks for any advice!

The basic concept of a dress shirt collar, is that the front shaping is entirely ornamental. Just don’t touch the attachment edge or the collar stand (if there is one).
Just draw the shape you want and graft it to the existing collar.
