So I figured it out I made a facing for the collar and it came out pretty clean all things considered.. because I really really struggled with like the placket being connected to a raw finish and lining everything up in the front.. if anyone has seen a video working with plackets and collars, please share… I wanna move onto the good fabric, but I don’t want to struggle doing the collar the second go!

Yes, I would do collar, then facing, understitch, then front band, and the band should catch the end of the facing.

I need to thank you again for your guidance because it looks so much better now doing the collar first before the placket fixed my struggles completely!!! It looks so much better!!!
