How would you interpret this message about a dress code?

For women: cocktail dress, definitely not black tie. Will be a mixture of very dressy and very arty.

What is a "very dressy" cocktail dress if it is not at least verging on black tie?

I'd interpret that as evening wear, so short and sequin-y as opposed to long and satin-y
