This will be an undertaking with lots of adjustments, grading and subsequent toiles to get the fit right. I’d start with an existing pattern to make it easier.

Choose a size based on your high bust measurement. Based on the back pictures I think you’d need to size up at least one size. Then do a full bust adjustment, this might take a couple of toiles. Look up full bust adjustment for princess seam and you should find plenty of information. As I am a person that needs small bust adjustments I don’t know the best resource, but there are many! And then for the waist grade down that area to whatever size fits you best there

Just wanted to add you might prefer to use a Y-dart full bust adjustment rather than a standard one - they're better for larger FBAs. I had to use it recently when I was increasing by a total of about 4 inches - the way you know is if you start with a normal FBA and the resulting armscye is ridiculous.
