how long is your back?
I would like to know how to express myself when I am talking about measurements.
For example:
How tall are you? I am 1'63 cm.
How long is your back? It is 80 cm.
How wide is your wrist? It is 20 cm.
Is it OK?. Thank you in advance.

Well, I was not thinking about a circumference in any case.
How tall are you? I am 1'63 (tall). Then, it is OK.
How long is your back? It is 89 cms. long. OK.
How wide is your back? There seems to be a problem with that. It is better: how broad is your back?. It is .... cms. broad. (I suppose this is the answer).
As I suppose that "how wide/broad/long" sounds strange to measure your head/wrist, then perhaps it is better to use "let's measure our head". Is that?
In fact, I was not talking about sewing but about a game. The game consists in measuring the different parts of the body.
