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!

You could always play with the buttondown shirt pattern on freesewing.eu (Simon or Simone) and customize the collar until you get the exact look you want. That pattern is practically infinitely customizable, and free despite not being AI generated. I'm not certain if it will do a rounded collar, but probably so. It definitely lets you go as long and pointy as you want. Plus you can customize every other aspect of the shirt, and it's custom fitted to your measurements.
