Hmm... "classy" as a British term? I'm pretty sure it's more American. I grinned at your mention of Abigail's party, at Uni we used to refer to a girl of a certain type as an "Abigail". I think that classy has many many different senses depending on the context. In some contexts, someone who actually puts underwear on might be, relatively, classy. I think there's a stereotype of the elegantly dressed, stockinged, stilettoed, woman who might be described as "classy", meanwhile in American detective fiction a "Classy broad" could simply mean that someone had qualities that distinguished her from others.... "She may have been a working girl, but she still had class".
