milliner
Women's hat designer
A milliner is a person who designs, makes, or sells women's hats.
The trade was once common enough to support dedicated shops, but has largely disappeared as hat-wearing declined: She apprenticed with a milliner in London.
The related noun millinery refers to the hats themselves or the craft of making them.
