Black tie wedding - is this dress appropriate?

Hi ladies.

I've never been to a black tie wedding, but have my first one coming up in October.  I have no idea what to wear!  I know black tie means that my attire should be formal, but does that mean I have to wear a floor length dress?  Or would a short dress that's more 'dressy' be ok?

Is this dress appropriate (in either the red "rosebud" color or the navy "caspian blue")?

It's short, but I feel like it could be made pretty dressy with the right heels and jewelry.

So - am I ok, or do I need to suck it up and start looking at longer dresses?  I don't know why, but I have a much harder time finding long dresses I like.

Thanks in advance!
