La Chemisette Help please [Convertible/camp-shirt collar]

I have just made a toile for this and am struggling so hard to do the collar! The instructions aren’t super clear and I’m sure mine looks incorrect! It has a front facing and a back yoke.
Does anyone have recommendations for some really slow and basic instructions that may help me please?
Many thanks

The pattern looks like it has a “convertible collar” sometimes called “Camp Shirts” (think retro style Men’s casual shirts from the 40s-60s).

Wow - that’s very different from the pattern instructions and makes a lot of sense - thank you!
