Help washing a dark cotton top with white embroidery

Hi there, this is my first post in a while but I'm a big lurker. Anyway, I have a beautiful navy cotton top with lots of white embroidery. I haven't washed it yet but I am worried that when I do the navy dye will stain the white embroidery and it wont look as nice. The label says wash cold delicate cycle but I have experienced dye transfer even in cold cycles, although not since I got my LG front loader but I haven't really tried anything like this in it. Any tips to prevent this or should I just send it to a dry cleaner, or perhaps use dryel? The shirt will not be the same if the white is not white, if you know what I mean. :(

Thanks!!
