'Pretty' can be used to compliment a woman's attractive appearance, but it also can use to mean 'rather,' 'kind of' or 'somewhat.' You can use it to lessen a compliment when you don't want to sound overly enthusiastic about someone or something.
Examples:
How do you like your new boss?
-She seems pretty nice, but I don't really know her yet.
-How was the test?
-There were some tough questions, but I think I did pretty well.
