I had the same issues when I was living in Canada not so anymore. It is not because there are many plus size options here in Italy but there are a few amazing online stores that have nice things, sizing is always perfect, quite economically prices and very good quality. I know there are a few PTers who also love it and a few of my hubby's friends moms & sisters & significant others as well. I have even gotten things for my mom from there as they don't just cater to plus size. They do it all. They have lovely undergarments (which is usually really hard to find in plus size) & their boots & shoes are amazing. I am a boot, shoe & purse addict.

Anyway, it is called bonprix. So if there is anyone in Europe or the UK that is in need of a place like this check it out. I do believe they have websites for a lot of different countries. There is definitely one for germany, uk, france, italy etc.
