Find a piece · Maxi dress with slit
A slit does the work of six inches of heel.
Floor-length reads as effort until you cut a slit into it, and then it reads as confidence. This one keeps the long sleeve and the full sweep, so the leg is the only thing it lets you see, and only when you move.
Red is the whole argument here. Flat sandals keep it a summer dress; a bare heel and it walks into dinner without changing a thing.

Where it goes
Black-tie-optional is the least frightening dress code there is: floor length, rich colour, and a dance floor you can actually use — the invitation decoded, register by register.
It also answers a night that deserves some theatre. The big swing — worn like it's nothing special, which is the only way it works.
A floor-length hem only reads as intent if something delicate ends it. A strappy sandal is what stops the sweep from swallowing the shoe.
