I agree, try a 2x or 18w. I buy a lot of this size on ebay....I find items from Neimans, Bloomies, Nordstrom, and Saks on there at a fraction of the retail price. Try Anne Klein size 2x coats. I got a lovely red wool coat by her for my grandma last year and she loved it.

UK sizing is tricky for me to translate but I believe you can just add 2 to the US size. For example: US 8 equals UK 10. It may not work exactly like this but it's close.

I'm afraid that I haven't noticed companies that ship to continental Europe. Have you tried Luisaviaroma? Matches in the UK?

Sorry I can't be more helpful but I wanted to try.
