Regular semi-formal wear allows cocktail dresses, but this is not appropriate for business wear. Review the invitation from the business for clues about what to wear.

The length of a semi-formal dress ranges from above the knee to mid-calf. Reserve long gowns for formal occasions. A man should wear a suit and tie to semi-formal events.
