There's a huge range of options between business casual and black tie. This could mean anything from khakis and a knit top to a cocktail dress to a formal prom-like gown. The invite really didn't give you much help!
I think it depends on how dressed up you want to get, and how dressed up the other folks attending are likely to get. Do you know anyone else attending? If so, ask them what they're likely to wear, if you don't want to be the only one dressed up or dressed down. Of course, if you don't care about standing out either way, just pick an option somewhere on the spectrum that makes you feel comfortable and attractive.

In Europe : knee or calf length before 7pm and ankle/floor length after 7pm. In doubt, go for the in-between : calf length Normally black tie for a wedding means an ankle/floor length. 1 tip : black colour : unless it is the theme of the wedding, one should never wear black as some people do not appreciate this colour at a wedding. I know it is fashionable but still..this colour still represents death for certain people. white colour : only the bride is allowed to wear this colour.

A cocktail dress is your best bet.
I'd like to chat with the person who issued the invitation though. Stating "business casual, black tie optional" leaves so much room for interpretation that there was no point in including such instructions at all.

It means IF guys want to wear a fancy suit/tux, they can otherwise, business casual is just a regular suit or slacks and tie.

I'd wear a suit: skirt/trousers with the same colour coat/jacket and a shirt with the collar out...
Or a tuxedo suit... www.dorothyperkins.com

Wow, they totally skipped past "semiformal"! That's what I'd go with, unless you just happen to have a modest fancy dress.

That would be semi-formal; a cocktail dress would be appropriate!
