Suggestion:

Hello, I am a professional seamstress who can help you estimate the yardage you need to make your dress.

Going on the assumption that he fabric is 54" to 60" wide, I would say your dress would need about 12 yards of fabric for the shell.

You will also need to either make or purchase a multi tiered petticoat to enhance the skirt in order to cause it to flair like a ballgown. This petticoat is typically made out of tulle and lining materials. You can google "petticoat patterns" to find the fullness you desire and there you will find yardage requirements.
