Thorn, that was very helpful; thank you. My wingspan is 1.5" shorter than my height.
(I have a telescoping rod in the corner of the living room and was holding that when the kid came downstairs. "Oh, God," he said, "what are you doing now?!?!" "Measuring my wingspan; I need to know whether it's greater or less than my height." Doesn't everyone's mom do this on Christmas Eve?)
Regular XL turtlenecks from Land's End fit well, both in body length and sleeve length. In general, I feel that I'm well-proportioned height-wise -- nothing really long nor really short, though when I was thin, dresses were often short-waisted on me, but that might have been because the dresses were small sizes. (Width-wise, I'm also well-proportioned; I have excessive width everywhere, alas!)
I just got a pair of pants with a 34" inseam, and they are too long for me. (A bit snug, too, darn it.)
Wish I had a tape measure handy!
