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.
