Two glosses for each sense makes it a bit clearer, I think, and "pretty" may not be the best gloss for that 3rd sense.

"pretty" isn't so good here, for example:
乍見施哲三,個頭高挺、衣著體面,彬彬有禮的神態不像藝術家,倒像是位日本味極重的紳士。
At first glance, the tall, well-dressed and mild-mannered Shee (also known as Samuel C. Shih) doesn't seem like an artist, but rather a gentleman with a strong Japanese air to him.

畢業多年後,一次同學會,羅校長見到英俊挺拔的漢隆打扮得很體面,
At a class reunion years after Han-lung graduated, Luo ran into him, now tall, handsome and sharply dressed.

「書房設計真體面」。(LA)
