Guest Dress...too White?

Hey Ya'll I had mentioned before my husband and I are going to a good friend's wedding next weekend and I ordered a dress off Poshmark since they are generally quicker with shipping then most websites.

Hey Ya'll

I had mentioned before my husband and I are going to a good friend's wedding next weekend and I ordered a dress off Poshmark since they are generally quicker with shipping then most websites. Well, of course this time the dress isn't even remotely close to described. I ordered a dark grey and I got a pale blush dress. Is it too close to white to wear as a guest? I'm nervous because it's outdoors and I have darker skin. I don't want the color of the dress to get blown out in pictures and look like I'm the jerk who thought it'd be fun to wear a long white dress. I don't want to bother the bride since they're on a super crunched timeline and my stupid questions are the last thing they need. Thoughts?

    She’s super chill, I just get caught up in my own head. I want her to like me since she’s going to big part of my life

    I personally would ask the bride! Explain the situation and tell her if she thinks it’s too close to white that you will not wear it, and then get a refund from the seller if she isn’t for you wearing it.

    This thread got so long. This was my update

    Update: My husband nudged me (a lot...) to text her. She texted back with, ""It's chill. If you like it so do I." :-/What does that mean? Is there subtext I'm too socially awkward to understand?

    ....
    I contacted the seller and they are “willing” to exchange it but want me to ship back the pink dress first and when they receive it they’ll send the grey. We leave for the wedding on 8/23 so I’m afraid I’d be cutting it too close. The only other “nice” dress I have that’d be wedding appropriate is dark red and satin (aka sweat-city for an outdoor August wedding).

    I personally think it would be fine. I understand not wanting to show up in a long white dress but it appears very peachy yellow to me, one that would be hard to appear white. I think as long as you are comfortable and like it, go for it! Then again, I was a very no drama bride. I am not the kind of person to get annoyed at things like this, so if the bride is, maybe go with something else just to be safe. Especially since you're questioning it.

    Perhaps you could ask the groom!

    I think that means it'd be fine. I respond similarly because I don't want to come off as telling people what to do. I decipher that as "It's pretty so if you'd like to wear it you're welcome to do so"

    It looks more peach to me. I'd send a photo to the bride and see what she thinks. It's hard to say what another bride would think. I'd be fine with it
