What is the pattern on the corset-inspired panel?

Can I machine wash this cardigan?

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels stiff after cleaning.

This can sometimes happen with wool blends. Ensure the dry cleaning process was appropriate for silk-wool. Gentle steaming on a low setting might help restore softness.

Button or zip feels difficult to fasten.

Ensure there are no threads caught in the mechanism. Gently manipulate the button or zip. If persistent, consult a tailor.

Embroidery or pattern shows signs of wear.

Avoid excessive friction or abrasion. Ensure care is taken during wear and storage. Re-stitching loose threads can be done by a professional.
