Christina Hendricks In Lucky: 'It's Really Hard To Find A Bathing Suit If You Have Breasts' (PHOTOS)

Our favorite lady, Christina Hendricks, covers Lucky's August issue, and inside she dishes on dressing her figure (uh, does it sound like she's launching a swimsuit line?), her signature red 'do and prepping for the paparazzi.

On dressing her famous curves: "I have to be careful about my proportions and keep it simple," says Hendricks. "What works for me is structure and something that shows my waist."

On her least favorite outfit: "It's really hard to find a bathing suit if you have breasts," she says. "You either get smooshed down or there's no support. My husband and I have sketched out designs."

On prepping for the paparazzi and fashion critics before a red carpet event: "I try to remain calm and remind myself that this is a fun, lovely event."

On her go-to designers when stepping out on the red carpet: "Vivienne Westwood for drama, L'Wren Scott for her perfect tailoring and body consciousness and Zac Posen for whimsy."

On why Hendricks, a natural blonde, dyed her hair at 10: "I was obsessed with Anne of Green Gables, so I wanted red hair," she says. "My mom said, 'I'll throw a rinse on it.'"

On how she's integrated some of the Mad Men style to her own wardrobe: "I collect animal bracelets. I got my first one off the Mad Men set; they let me keep a horse cuff I fell in love with."

Check out some photographs below and for Christina's favorite things and Etsy & eBay picks, head over to LuckyMag.com. The issue hits newsstands July 5.

Dear Ms. Moss, Dear Ms. Hendriks,
Perhaps it would amuse you both to know that women of flat chested nature equally have the same dilemma....would you have ever guessed that we share the same problematics?? ;-D

She is soooo Hawt!
Her figure is a like a terrible car accident.
You feel guilty gawking, but yet you can't look away.

Christina, You don't HAVE breasts. Those are silikone cushions. Easily deflatable if You know how.

What she didn't say was that the Size of her A$$ is dependent upon the Size of her BRESS! And if she were to lose the Size of her A$$ (so she could get into the Wonder Woman costume) she would also lose the Size of her Bress! And if she does that she will disappear from the front pages of HuffPo! I didn't hear anyone say that, did I?

PLEASE spare us! Another pair of plastic ballons on a beach is not really something anyone with a brain above the waistline wants to see.

I am sure any number of breast cancer survivors would love to have her "Problem"!

? that seems kinda (extremely) bitter, especially considering how hard it has been for women with more generous proportions to feel okay about themselves for so long. I share similar proportions with Ms Hendricks and can tell you that while it can be nice, more often it can also be a literal pain in the neck/back /shoulders and brain. By the way, My closest friend is a breast cancer survivor, I just shared your comment with her on fb and she said "do her and other survivors a favor and let them worry about themselves...Oh and she said she likes CH's boobies"

I am a trained masseur and I can tell You that large breasts ARE a "pain in the neck".

BUT

Anyone like Hendricks who pays top dollar to have silicone implanted can go right to hell before she weeps tears for her oh so terrible breasts. There ARE women with real problems. You crying over problems that are completely self inflicted for fame and a few spots before the camera however is doing the exact opposite than You say You want to do. You do not weep for the large breasts. You do it for silicone implants. So please pare us your tears.

I have never said this about any w w. but I wish i looked like her. her body is madness and perfection. my husband would go wild... er, If I looked liked her. looking at her makes me want to cry.

Where's the problem? - Take two million and get a good chireurgeon and real good makeup artists. This look is not a woman. it is a piece of art. Some people may like it. But I can tell You one thing: your husband might dream of taking her to bed. But on wking up he'd choose You any day. You have no idea how people with that much work done look in the morning when the art has rubbed off.

It's expensive, and a pain, but I found some really cute swimsuits for large cups (D and up) on a UK website. It just kind of sucks, because you'd rather go to your local lingerie store to try on, etc. A Christina Hendricks line would be lovely, so long as the bikinis are in separates for those of us who are only top-heavy...

I'm with you there! I would love to see her do a fashion line

Could we then please get a fashion live for women who have the actual problem of large breasts and not ones who for one thing paid top dollar for that size and could afford to have sewn something that fits for 2.5% of what those implants cost?

And another thing: anyone who bought something from her summer fashion line would soon find out that there is a HUGE difference between gatting something for implants and getting something for real ones.

When I read all those men here slavering over mere size and crying tears of frustration that nature just does not have that kind of equipment to marry I could puke.

No one was talking about implants. I'm thinking pure genetic lottery over here.

My chest got a lot bigger when I got pregnant, and it was already an issue to find a swimsuit. I hope she starts her own line of swimsuits that won't make those naturally endowed look like like wannabe porn stars.
