I probably looked like an idiot doing my Christmas shopping, but I wanted to buy nice warm sweaters for both my sister and my big brother's wife. My sister is shorter than me but has a long torso, and my sister-in-law is quite tall but not too wide, so I was measuring sleeve lengths on every sweater, trying to get my sis-in-law something that had long enough sleeves but wasn't 3x her size in the torso, and my sister something long enough in the torso but without sleeves that go past her fingertips! Took me a while, but I persevered, and both recipients were happy.
