Since 1982, she has given lectures and workshops on medieval clothing for academic audiences, historical societies, reenactment groups, and other organizations. An experienced costumer as well as an academic researcher, she addresses both the practical aspects of medieval clothing construction and the significance of costume in history, art, and literature. Her lectures emphasize approaches for researching medieval costume and ways to avoid common myths and mistakes. Ms. Netherton is co-editor (with Gale Owen-Crocker) of the academic journal Medieval Clothing and Textiles. Her recent published papers have focused on the 14th-century gored dresses found in Greenland, the tippet (a 14th-century sleeve decoration), and the development of the Norman hanging-cuff style.
