I was always under the impression bolts of cloth were 9 yds long and if you were rich back in the day you could afford the whole 9 yds.

One common and accepted explanation has to do with the clothing industry. It is a term supposedly used by tailors when making reference to a custom-made suit. Some say it takes exactly nine yards of material to make a complete man's three-piece suit. Which means a tailor would use 'the whole nine yards' making that suit if it's tailored to the hilt including being double-lined. Anything short of nine yards would mean certain alterations.
