Christina Hendricks has praised the Mad Men costume designer Janie Byrant.
The actress, who plays the character of Joan Holloway on the AMC drama series, said that her costumes have helped her to boost the public's perception of curvy women.
She said in an interview with Parade: "I think that's an amazing compliment. It's a testament to the meticulousness of our costume designer and what she's done with a pencil skirt! God bless her!"
Hendricks also said that she is proud that the success of the show has lead to other opportunities for costume designer Byrant.
She said: "Mad Men is a very stylish show. I think people miss a time where people were put together and much more presentable. It's nice that people are responding to it.
"And it's so exciting for our costume designer, Janie Bryant, to do a line for Banana Republic. It's sort of surreal to walk by the windows and see your show represented there."
