Would one or more of you lovely people please help me figure out what the problem is? Thank you in advance!

It's stretching on the bias. plus your seams are way too deep.
One-Quarter Inch Seams....That's the LAW!!
Another thing you will find very helpful, is starch the devil out of it. Stiff as a board. It will fall right in for you.
You will have to clip, too.
