bare breasted french women

bdtj1815's thread offers valid criticism of COG, including his subjective desire to avoid micro managing economics. Others have commented that concern about spices, inter alia, is a function of national morale.
I rise to speak to a variation on that theme.
We know that post revolutionary France was in social throes, including young women in Paris barely covering their bosoms and young officers hiring tailors to strategically "pad" their skintight pants. [:D] Kind of the MTV of the era.
I note that France can't produce cotton.
Query: is the absence of cotton something that in fact helps French national morale because the women simply don't cover themselves (what woman wants wool next to her bosom) ?
In support of this I offer that in 1792 the only French infantry with decent morale are the Swiss Guards who we know were garrisoned in Paris.
I worry about these kind of things.
