The dress arrived promptly and was really compactly packaged in a plastic pouch.  It didn't wrinkle the dress so it's not a big deal.  The color is a little darker sapphire than the picture.  I'm 5'1'' so this dress is very long on me but most of my gowns need altering.  Fits nicely around the waist but the chest part was a little loose (I'm 34"" and I bought a size 6).  Their sizing chart is pretty accurate.  Hides a pooch well.  I read the other reviews and heard it was good for women who are postpartum.  I just had a baby 6 months ago so I think this dress will do the job and allow me to pig out at cocktail hour.
