Write her a note back. She's handling this better than many adults do. How many fully grown women throw out obnoxious comments like that when they're frustrated and can't bring themselves to apologize?
You raised your daughter well. She's mature, she takes ownership, she found a way to do something that is so deeply uncomfortable.
Write her a note back that you appreciate her apology, you understand she must have been frustrated and you hope that you'll be able to coordinate picking up the dress before YT. And give her a hug, you both deserve it.

I agree with previous poster who said to write a note back. That’s what I would do. She sounds like a great kid who is usually respectful but just had a moment, and she realizes her mistake and did the right thing by apologizing. I definitely wouldn’t punish her. I would write a note back saying thank you for the apology note, that it was very appreciated and that you love her and are proud of her for writing it etc…

A teenager should be cleaning her own room.

Dina Friedman says that after a child has been disciplined (like your teen was, when your DH told her she must apologize) it's very important to help them move on and show you still love her, accept her, etc....
So it's important today to speak to her normally, show her that you can move on from this.
I also do think it sounds like she can take more responsibility for her room. There's no reason for you to straighten up after a teen. She should be doing that.

She may have had a rough day in school & had an outburst at home. Just let it go without making a big deal out of it. Especially if it's out if character for. We need to put our ego aside when dealing with our teens & tread carefully & try not to create a power struggle over things.

Always be on the lookout for PMS! Some girls can have it very severely and will need help to learn to manage their diet (healthy, no sugar etc) and sleep to keep themselves on an even keel.
Something to consider any time you see a change in a teenage girl! And it doesn't necessarily happen the first year either (speaking from experience...)
