I was always under the impression that the saying "The Whole Nine Yards" referred to the Queen of England's wardrobe. Her dresses were made from a bolt of fabric and that bolt contained nine yards of the textile. She, in her infinite wealth, could afford to have her ensembles sewn with the entire contents of the bolt. Other, less fortunate women, couldn't afford that much fabric. Ergo..........The Queen's gowns were made with "The Whole Nine Yards"!

Now why would I think that, (and in such detail too)? *shrugs her shoulders*Hmmmmmmmmmm..........OH.....I am a seamstress! I knew there was a reason I heard this before.
