Buttonholes are holes in fabric which allow buttons to pass through, securing one piece of the fabric to another. The raw edges of a buttonhole are usually finished with stitching. This may be done either by hand or by a sewing machine. Some forms of button, such as a Mandarin button, use a loop of cloth or rope instead of a buttonhole. Buttonholes can also refer to flowers worn in the buttonhole of the coat/jacket, referred to simply as 'buttonholes' or boutonnières du Telf.
