There are alot of proportional commonalities in the human body, I Imagine it has much to do with evolution, these proportions seemed to work the best so that's how we came out.
other commonalities
- your foot is about the same with as your knee
- your hand is about the same with as your elbow
- your femur (thy bone) is twice as long as your pelvis
- The with of your head is about the same as the height of your sternum(breast bone)
-your hand is about the same height as your scapula (shoulder blade)
-your eyes are about the center of your head top to bottom
- the bottom of your nose is about half way between your eyes and chin
-your bottom lip is about half way between the bottom of your nose and chin.
Ok, now I'm just getting nerdy - but you get the point. The body is made up of all kinds of proportional commonalities, probably because it helps with balance and function.

My six foot co-worker wears a size 6.5 shoe - her arm is longer. My 5.4 friend wears a size 8 - her arm is shorter.
neither person is out of proportion.
The measuring thing has a lot of soft tissue room for error. The tip of you nose to your thumb and pointer is approximately 36" for estimating how much fabric you need - but I wouldn't try to get it past the department of weights and measures.
