I believe the answer is:

good-looking

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'appealing' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'ladies perhaps hugged by wenceslas?' is the wordplay.
'ladies perhaps' becomes 'loo' (I've seen this in other clues).
'hugged by' means one lot of letters goes inside another (I've seen this in other clues).
'wenceslas?' becomes 'goodking' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'loo' going inside 'goodking' is 'GOOD-LOOKING'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for good-looking that I've seen before include "Handsome - pretty" , "(Of a person) attractive" .)
