I have done this a couple of times. I had a black gown which I added fringe to, a MOB dress which became a bedlah and skirt, a red dress which became a halter top and seperate skirt.

So, yes, it is a symptom.

Now, conversely, for a long time I wouldn't wear beaded evening gowns when I went out because the moment I told someone I belly danced, I was inevitably asked for a demo. When I turned around and asked them for their services for free, they stopped asking1
