'unattractive' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'typist got her tan abroad' is the wordplay.
'abroad' is an anagram indicator.
'typist'+'got'+'her'+'tan'='typistgothertan'
'typistgothertan' anagrammed gives 'NOT A PRETTY SIGHT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for not a pretty sight that I've seen is " badly knocked about".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
