Does your company have an Employee Handbook? I would consult there first and see what the guidelines for appropriate dress are, based on what is laid out there.
In my handbook, we have an "acceptable" and "unacceptable" column for both guys and gals, and its broken down by clothing type.
I would say professional is another step up from Business casual, in that you will need/want to update each piece.
IE if:
Business casual was khakis' instead of jeans, Professional dress would be slacks instead of khakis.
If Business casual was a button down shirt/or polo, Professional Dress would be either adding a blazer or upgrading to a blouse.
