Can I machine wash this dress?

What type of shoes pair well with this dress?
Strappy block heels or elegant heeled sandals are recommended. For a more casual approach, wedge espadrilles could also work depending on the event.

What are the sleeve details?
The dress features voluminous balloon sleeves with gathered cuffs, adding a dramatic and fashionable element to the design.
Is the fabric breathable?

Troubleshooting
Dress feels stiff after washing.
Ensure you used a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can affect the cotton's natural feel. Air dry thoroughly.
Embroidery appears snagged or loose.
Gently try to smooth the snagged thread back into place with your fingers. If threads are loose, consider professional mending rather than attempting a DIY fix.
Dress loses its shape.
Ensure proper storage on a padded hanger. Avoid prolonged hanging if the dress is very heavy after washing. Laying flat to dry helps maintain its original form.
Color appears faded.
Wash in cold water and always dry away from direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Consider professional dry cleaning for color preservation.
