Maybe pale, shy, and easy on the eye (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shapely

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

'easy on the eye' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'maybe pale shy' is the wordplay.
'maybe' is an anagram indicator.
'pale'+'shy'='paleshy'
'paleshy' with letters rearranged gives 'SHAPELY'.

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for shapely that I've seen before include "Pleasingly formed" , "Well-proportioned" , "Well-turned" , "Attractively proportioned" , "Curvaceous" .)
