I had simply never considered that this was a factor in a cartwheel — despite the fact that your head should be
squeezed tight between your shoulders during
pretty much every single skill in gymnastics that involves your arms going overhead.
I've tried it once, and here what I think: the dress is like super-duper
tight, so prepare to
squeeze yourself into it, in general, bandage dress is
pretty flattering, because it smooth and shapes the body, if the dress looks too sexy cover the rest and make it more casual.
