Millinery shops were almost always owned by women. They would sell fabric that could be made into clothing. A milliner would also make things like shirts, aprons, caps, hats, muffs, and trim for gowns. Many young girls would become an apprentice to a milliner so she could learn the skills of gown making. It was important that she learned how to cut, fit, and sew fabric so a customer could get just the right fit. The milliner was known to furnish everything for the ladies that would contribute to their beauty. |
