'It was bittersweet - a really good time , but very sad , ' she said of her last day on set . 'Lots of tears . ' While she will no doubt miss her co-stars Jon Hamm , who plays her dad Don Draper , and January Jones , who plays her mom Betty Francis , on set , Kiernan is especially sorry to leave her own on-screen alter-ego behind . 'Sally is very strong and independent . Very perceptive too . ' she said . ' I do n't think she 'd want to be friends with me , but I 'd love to be friends with her ! ' Family drama : The show has followed Sally Draper 's personal story more as the character has gotten older , giving Kiernan increasing screen time over the course of the whole show . Growing up in the spotlight : Viewers have watched Kiernan grow from a little girl , seen here in 2009 , into a teenager . She even takes getting mistaken for Sally in real life as a compliment ; the actress says many fans will tell her they hate her parents or want to give Kiernan - meaning Sally , her oft-emotionally-neglected character - a hug . But while on-screen Kiernan is meticulously dressed in vintage-style clothing by Mad Men costume designer Janie Bryant - who the actress describes as 'so brilliant ' - off-screen the star likes to experiment with clothes and accessories on her own . She describes her personal style as 'fun and simple , ' but will switch out her everyday overalls and sneakers for glamorous designer dresses and heels on the red carpet . Designer darling : The actress wore a Miu Miu dress , shoes and bag to a party celebrating the final seven episodes of Made Men on March 25 . ' I really , really love Miu Miu . It ’ s so fun and youthful , ' Kiernan , who regularly attends A-list fashion industry events , said of one of her favorite designers . Luckily , the actress will still have plenty of occasions to dress up for the red carpet even after the last seven episodes of Mad Men end this spring , with several more projects on the horizon . Later this year , Kiernan will star in Fan Girl with Meg Ryan and February alongside Emma Roberts .
The actress , 15 , has been reminiscing about the 'bittersweet ' last days on set . Sally says fans often call her Kiernan and tell her they hate her parents and wish they could give her a hug .
