Kadife, could it be that people are expected to be so much more understated in the UK? It really seems like calling attention to oneself--as could be interpreted with fancy fancy costumes is seen as showing off? In the United States, I think we aren't as concerned with being obvious show-offs--it's almost a regular thing here!
I see nothing wrong with owning the costumes you enjoy for whatever purpose you decide. It seems like it isn't anyone's business if you are "only" a hafla dancer. Honestly, I'd rather see a nice costume on ANY kind of dancer than a cheap airport nightmare of fringe and sequins thrown onto crooked bra cups and lopsided belts.
