The show, which was picked up by ABC last month, focuses on the pilots and stewards working for the famous airline in the 1960s.
Ricci has now explained that the corsets and girdles she had to wear could be a problem, The Hollywood Reporter says.
"That was painful," she admitted. "Someone has to help you because I can't get this back together fast enough to run back to set."
However, Ricci revealed that she enjoyed playing a Pan Am steward as they had more freedom than other women at the time.
She explained: "In this male-dominated world, in that famously openly chauvinistic culture, these women were really taking the reins and running their lives in a way most women didn't."
Pan Am will air on Sundays when it premieres on ABC this fall.
