I need to make a Royal Tudor Gown Costume? NEED HELP!!!!!!?

i am making a tudor gown for gcse, it will be for a young mary 1. But i dont know how to make the gown, corset or skirt etc. it must look authentic while still be able to be made by ME. how much fabric will i need how do i make the patterns for a corset and how would they of made the skirt stick out (i dont think they used the ringed skirts in the early 16th century. thx

Are you sure you want to do this? Making an authentic Tudor gown will be extremely difficult, take a lot of time and cost a lot of money.
I'm not particularly savvy on the Tudor period, but I can give you general costume advice.

How much fabric you need very much depends on what kind of gown your making.
Try Simplicity 3782 for a decent looking Tudor gown.

To make skirts look fuller, you need the correct underskirts for the cut of the gown.
http://www.butterick.com/item/B3737.htm?tab=list/costumes&page=all might give you something to build on.

Don't attempt to make your own corset pattern if you aren't experienced. There are various short courses available for making your own custom corset pattern, or you can adapt a commercial one.
Simplicity 2621 has the right flat front for your period, you will have to adapt it though. You could also try the custom corset pattern generator here; http://www.elizabethancostume.net/custompat/index.html

For general costuming advice, check out http://www.reddawn.net/costume/patterns.htm and http://www.elizabethancostume.net/

You in for quite a job if you really want to do this, good luck!
