I've always _thought_ of millinery as female, but the definition I found online
didn't specify that:
milliner - definition of milliner by the Free Online Dictionary,
Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.
mil·li·ner (ml-nr) n. One that makes, trims, designs, or sells hats.
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/milliner
OTOH:
Millinery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Millinery refers to hats and other articles sold by a milliner to women,
or the profession or business of designing, making, or selling hats,
dresses, and hat trim to women.

STFW and you can find anything ....
