Sewing

Center back

Description

The vertical line representing the exact middle of the back on a pattern or garment.

Detailed explanation

In sewing and pattern drafting, CB indicates the Center Back line, which runs vertically down the middle of the back piece. This marking is essential for ensuring symmetry and proper fit. It often indicates where the pattern should be placed on the fabric fold or where a central back seam or closure, like a zipper, will be located.
