I'm pleased to announce that Robin Netherton, an independent scholar specializing in medieval clothing, will visit the Philadelphia, PA area on Saturday, February 28, 2004 for a series of lectures about feminine clothing styles of the 14th and 15th centuries. Ms. Netherton will present five signature lectures:

The Gothic Fitted Dress
The Greenland Gored Gown
Will the Real Sideless Surcote Please Stand Up?
The 15th-Century V-Neck Gown
The Problem of Women's Heraldic Dress

The day begins with a casual breakfast reception at 9am followed by Ms. Netherton's slide-enhanced lectures starting at 10am sharp and going until dinnertime. Small breaks between lectures and a lunch break are included. The beautiful Bryn Mawr College campus provides the setting for this day of learning and information exchange.
