"I’ve learned the tricks to flatter an hourglass figure" - Christina Hendricks' new collection for Joanie is created with curves in mind

You'll never go too far wrong with a floral print midi dress, and the sunshine yellow colour of this one, contrasted against the chinoiserie print, is stunning. The wrap-over shape is a winner, and the floaty sleeves are very flattering.

Christina told woman&home, "My favourite piece from the collection is Vetiver, the “smoking jacket” dress. I’ve always been a fan of wearing bedroom pieces outdoors, but that usually translates into slips or camisoles being worn out. I like that this is the full bedroom look but it’s so tailored it tricks one into seeing a perfectly acceptable outdoor dress."

A very refreshing twist on a classic little black dress, this one has a little collar, a keyhole cut out, and a jacquard fabric. The details on these designs are really impressive; you can see how much thought has gone into every element.

If you're a fan of dresses with pockets this butter yellow and dusty blue print dress is a must-have for your collection. The V-neckline balances out the long sleeves, and Joanie advises the fit is regular so you can take your regular size.

The hero piece of the collection for me, this has got Christmas party written all over it. It's also available in festive green, but you'd better be quick because I can see this one selling out really soon.

The wallpaper-style print and tea dress shape of this one will be in your wardrobe for years to come. What's more, it's made with fibres from wood, a natural raw material, so you can feel good about looking good.

I love that Christina also really encourages people to customise the dresses to suit their style. She says: "I have learned from stylists that I have worked with, Lawren Sample, especially, that anything is possible. Don’t look at what a garment is, look at what it could be. That might mean hemming a dress, changing a sleeve, or it might mean trying something on with a mismatched belt that you never imagined would have tied the whole look together. Think outside the dress."

You can really imagine Christina's character wearing this in Mad Men, can't you? The Peter Pan collar is so sweet, but it's cut perfectly so it still feels glamorous and not too up to the neck.

Christina says her top three wardrobe staples are "a perfect day-to-night dress, a perfect pair of jeans, and beautifully feminine silk blouse." This printed piece is the day-to-night dress of dreams.
