Well mannered and well turned out.

prim means - strait-laced; prudish.
proper means - Strictly following rules or conventions, especially in social behavior; seemly.

Thus the expression 'prim and proper' is a Victorian English expression which referred to people (usually ladies) who behaved in a very formal and correct way and were easily shocked by anything rude.
