An abbreviation for Center Front, a vertical line on a pattern piece corresponding to the exact middle of the front of a finished garment, indicating where the two front halves meet or overlap. It serves as a primary reference point for pattern drafting, cutting, and assembly, guiding the placement of closures like zippers, buttons, and plackets. The Center Front line is almost always placed on the straight grain of the fabric to prevent twisting or distortion of the final product.
