Last year or so I developed a shirt pattern from Simone by rotating out the front dart and creating a camp collar option for when the fancy strikes me (or I don’t have enough fabric to do a stand collar…). I love the shirts I’ve made more and more every day, and look forward to sewing more with this pattern.

Those are all great, but I adore the use of the flower pattern on your test shirt. I’ll have to figure out how to make a collar like that. ,) Did you use interfacing?
@krtzl Thank you! Yes, I used interfacing in all of the collars featured in this post. For the test shirt, I might’ve used fusible interfacing from Joanns? For the rest of them, I used linen bias canvas I bought from Bias Bespoke. They say not to wash it but I wash my shirts with every wear and it’s still holding up great.
For the test shirt collar (and the other floral shirt) : that’s a Camp Collar. Camp Collars are actually really easy: you just need a fabric rectangle the length of your undercollar and whatever width you want (that test shirt is 3.25 inches wide). I drafted mine by hand but you can generate it with Simon or Simone on FreeSewing: you just have to fiddle around with the upper collar settings for a bit (to make the rectangle you desire).
