Anywhere from a child's 14 to a women's size 8. Your dress size is not a function of height, but weight factors combined with height. Added into the problem is that you are a petite lady. What the "woman" sizes do is make you feel bundled in clothes. Try cruising the teen departments; they frequently are made for the smaller frames of the teen and will fit better. Even the children's sizes in the larger fits might be a good choice for you. Children today are frequently your height at 12, so some things in their ranges might be the thing. Dress sizes today are not like the dresses of yesterday. Today there are no standardized dress sizes. Unless you sew, you will find that clothing manufacturers will vary their "sizes" to what will sell...and a "4" might fit a woman 5'6" and weighing 140. So don't be locked into the size...go with what fits.

Well, I'm 5 ft 4 and i wear a 4, so maybe a 2. It really depends on your body type. Search your BMI. Body Mass Index. That should give you a clue.
