Centre front question

[Bodgeitandscarper]

A top with no button band, just a bodged folded back facing - would you have the buttons at the centre front or the edge of right front???
I think I'm going for the edge of the front, as I shall hopefully use just fairly insignificant buttons on this one.

Is there a correct way to do it?

I always do as Fran says.

Buttons are placed on the CF.   vertical buttonholes along the CF AND horizontal ones start at about 3mm from the CF.  the button stand should be approximately the diameter of the button.

[Bodgeitandscarper]

Yes, if there is a button band it  would be central, but this doesn't have one.

@Bodgeitandscarper the CF should still be marked on the pattern regardless of whether there is a band or a facing.    The button stand is the distance is from the CF to the edge of the garment.

I don't necessarily follow patterns exactly, and having just looked at the last top I made like this, it may end up being overlapped further than the centre front anyway, a bit more asymmetry never hurt anyone 

But thanks everyone for confirming my thoughts on the actual correct method

As everyone else says, the buttons should be at the centre front.  That means that both sides need to extend beyond the CF line.  The buttons (for a lady) will be on the left front and the buttonholes on the right hand side.

The only exception would be if you have loops instead of buttonholes - buttons still on CF and right front just shy of CF with loops going beyond CF.
