Rosehip Mar 2021 5:44pm, 12 Mar 2021 20,102 posts	0 Rosehip How is the Dulsie sizing, Scribbs? I almost bought one and then decided I was a bit between 12/14 and decided not to, but they do look handy
TheScribbler Mar 2021 6:05pm, 12 Mar 2021 5,341 posts	0 TheScribbler I was a the same on sizing Rosehip, but have plumped for the bigger option. I’ll let you know when I try it on.
