So a search on this didn't pop anything up, but how do people feel about gearing dragons? I mean, they have Hoarde of gear, and given that said gear magically resizes it's self one ring style, with an exception to armor and magical weapons, there seems little to no reason not to gear up a dragon NPC.
So have you guys experienced this before? If not, why not? Dragons finding gear to be out of fashion or a sign of weakness? They need custom made gear because in your setting it doesn't resize and it's too much work? Or for most encounters it'd just be overkill? I'm thinking about doing it in my next game and Just was thinking about it since my group is fairly good at optimizing and figure it might kick up the power of a dragon encounter.

When preparing for a dragon fight as a DM i looked through the dragon's hoard to see which items he could use.
Magic Items resize to fir the wearer, so if the dragon has the bodyslot and it is useful to him, he will be wearing it.
But (!) there arent really any dragons outside of very special circumstances who sell their hoard to "gear up". So most of their wealth is still generic treasure to enjoy possessing.

I have a dragon whose coins that gets confiscated get reminted in the likeness of the dragon. And also arcane marked. He sometimes parts with his coins to link himself to rulers and such in return for "services rendered" He uses his crystal ball daily. He also has a helm of telepathy. Summoning circles crafted from the finest gems and riches. Etc.
