black dress corset Azazie A-Line Floor-Length Quinceañera Dresses Ruffles Lace Up Satin Faced Chiffon Strapless and an invisible back zip for easy on and off Harlowe Corset Maxi Dress -

This one in particular is on the shorter hem length than I usually wear (a family member who saw me editing the photos even asked who was the woman in the photo!) so it definitely is not work-appropriate but is great for special events

The key word here is smart. It means casual, elevated

I really wanted something that was not too formal and that had a somewhat full skirt - something from the 50s would be ideal

This is called a monochrome metallic look, and it can look incredibly luxurious when done right
