Millinery

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Millinery is women's hats and other articles sold by a milliner, or the profession or business of designing, making, or selling women's hats and hat trim. A milliner is a hatter who designs, makes, sells or trims women's hats.

Millinery, if taken in a more general sense, also means any accoutrements that are functionally unnecessary, such as a garnish on a dish, or the extra cuff-buttons on a man's dress jacket.

Many famous early designers began in millinery including Coco Chanel.
