Learn Romanian: Femeia poartă o rochie albastră. - The woman is wearing a blue dress.

In Romanian, the word for "the" attaches to the end of the noun instead of being a separate word before it. The base word for woman is femeie, and changing the ending to "-a" makes it femeia (the woman).

The translation says "is wearing", but isn't poartă just "wears"?

Romanian does not have a separate tense for actions happening right now like English does with "is wearing". The single word poartă translates to both "wears" and "is wearing" depending on what makes sense in the context.

Why are the words in the order rochie albastră instead of albastră rochie?

In Romanian, describing words (adjectives) almost always come after the noun they describe. So instead of saying "blue dress", you say "dress blue" (rochie albastră).

Does the word for blue change here because rochie is a feminine word?

Yes! Adjectives must match the gender of the noun they describe. The standard masculine form for blue is albastru, but because rochie (a dress) is a feminine noun, the adjective changes its ending to become albastră.
