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

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