Lily has thinner straps than the Chelsea, but the straps are similarly wideset, which can be irritating, I found that a 65E in the Lily fit similar to the 65D in the Chelsea. The top of the lace strip on the cup is attached at 5 points, the bottom of the lace is completely attached.

I like the boning on the band just past the cup. The band is firm and I do not see it losing its integrity quickly. The silky (silk?) lining of the cups is very luxurious and nice against bare skin. The top line of the cup is slightly more diagonal than the Chelsea, but not incredibly so. The stock photos of the bras alone make it seem as if the Chelsea is more balconette-y and the Lily is more plunge-y but the cut is very similar in reality.

Lace trimming is almost even with the top of the cups and there is extra boning on the side, in addition to the underwires. Label says 65E. Store I bought it from listed it as 28DD. My best guess is that it fits more like a firm 28 band with maybe a D cup? I cannot wear it at all. Can get it done up and the band is okay, but snug, but the cups are so small.
Complete opposite fit issues to the Ampere Gramercy 30D that I also tried (cups too big and open on top). No, i do not have their sizes switched with each other.
