Curvaceous Christina Hendricks takes the plunge by designing her own swimwear range

Christina Hendricks has come up with a surefire way of ensuring that no more unflattering pictures are taken of her on the beach - by designing her own line of swimwear.

The Mad Men star looked to be struggling to contain her famous curves when she was photographed in Italy in May wearing a black swimsuit.

Now the 36-year-old, who is also the face of Vivienne Westwood's jewellery collection, has had a number of meetings with swimsuit manufacturers.

'Christina is a size 14 and weighs 11st but she can't find a swimsuit that compliments her figure,' says an insider.

'So she started designing her own and is in talks to sign a deal.

'She loves her curves and doesn't want to lose weight.

'She wanted to create something other women can wear too.

The plan is to start with swimwear and move into underwear and her own clothing line.'
