Quote - I tried chains made from links as hard decoration items on an (invisible) carrier cloth strip. Was not a big success, but maybe my carrier cloth strip did not have enough polygons in the width of the strip. 

Chain works quite good as soft decorated group. Low poly links are deformed only a little.

Dynamic body parts looks smooth, if they are low poly. They can be either supported by windforce.

Short animation shows primitive capsule with windforce inside. Body parts can be animated the same way. Use your imagination to guess which one ;)

Furthermore "pumped capsule" can be used as a marker for animation. If you parent it to head, you can adjust hair morphs according to capsule bends and damping. The same with another morphs. I remember python scripts, which created breast jiggle using dynamic hair calculation. Dynamic prop can be used the same way, but morphs must be adjusted manually.
