Here are two examples of more formal, dressier style shirts. Notice the interfacing is on the inner collar band. Notice also that the outer band has a lot of ‘ease’ built in. That helps the band wrap around the neck.

TOOLS
Freezer Paper
The best pattern paper. Iron on a wool setting and it sticks to fabric. Reusable, durable, and transparent enough for tracing.
Tracing Wheel
Spokes aren't too sharp and it works well to trace a temporary line on fabric or paper.
Wavy Rotary Blade
Use in place of pinking shears, quickly trim outside edges of circles.

Do you have tips for stitching the rounded style (at CF) band? I used the "Classic" shirt band pattern piece and will try your squared-off style next time. Thinking it will be easier to get those seams to fold up and in, and edgestitch.
