Although "comely" is now typically used to describe the appearance of human beings, it was once used more broadly of other appealing things, such as fine clothing. "Comely" can be traced back to an Old English word meaning "lovely, glorious, or fine." If you're looking to pretty up your prose or poetry with additional words meaning "beautiful," English is well-supplied with them. Aside from "beautiful" itself, we have "lovely," "handsome," "pretty," "fair," "good-looking," "gorgeous," "ravishing," and even "well-favored."
