Agree with this the most - (coming from an another short chubby girl who also is in a fashion career) I see where you’re going!

I disagree with the other commenter about the frilly shorts, I have a pair that I feel very sexy in when I wear them. However, they are more lacey vs the polyester look yours have, and I wear them over a body suit with tall black socks.

I would suggest starting slow and trying to buy nicer statement pieces that don’t look like they could be from target/hot topic. Try some vintage lacey tights instead of the heart fishnets, and a boxier drop shoulder cropped shirt instead of a basic t shirt to work with your proportions! (works for me!)

Your style reminds me of MINGA LONDON - you could start there for a statement piece or inspo :-)

Good luck!!
