Default Replacing bra shelf foam with horsehair?


I'm trying to innovate on a support shelf built into a soft cup bra,
which is made of tricot-fused foam. It would be nice if it were a
little cooler and thinner, making "less bra". (In a size 48J, that's a
lotta foam.) My current thoughts are toward layering tricot with an
equally supportive, flexible layer that's more open-weave. Maybe
horsehair? Does it come in 6" widths? Stiff tulle would be light,
supportive and strong. I might try sandwiching it between sheer tricot
to prevent creasing/binding.

Any thoughts?

P.S. Anybody else reading Beverly Johnson's blog? She answers
comments using the login BraMaker One. She's such a guru I'm going to
think of her as Bramaker-Wan Kenobi.
