Yoke Help

I am having the hardest time with the sizing of this yoke! I'm getting really frustrated. I've made 3 different yokes and cut out 2 different sets of the body of the dress (thinking my cutting or seam allowance was off), but I keep getting the same results. My yoke is just about 1/2" too big for the neckline. So when I pin it, it would overlap my piping. I did use store bought piping, didn't make my own like the instructions say, which I wouldn't think makes a difference, but maybe? It's obviously something I'm doing because everyone else is having great results, but I'd love some help on what it might be! At this point, I just want to finish it do I'm going to rig it somehow to work, but I'd love to know the right way to do it. I LOVE the fabric I picked and the style of the dress and I hate that after all this work, it won't be just right! I'd appreciate any ideas or thoughts on where I may have gone wrong. Thanks!!
