There are number of great jean brands i would recommend for you my dear lady. But lets first address your height and your size. I would recommend if you cannot find your size in the women section it would be best you check the teens or juniors section most likely they will have sizes to fit you. Also most stores have specific section for petite sizes what i would advise you to do when you go shopping ask for the petite section or if you do it online you can look in the women section for petite sizes.One type of jeans which i would highly recommend is Levi's you cant go wrong with this brand you can get this brand at
www.amazon.com,www.macys.com,www.jcpenny.com. Another site that have a huge selection of jeans for women which i would highly recommend is www.zappos.com

you can also read these links to see advice for women of your size please note i did not base my answer from this site i use my knowledge. One of my previous girlfriends have small feet and usually she would by kids shoes instead of women size shoes so i figured the same rule would apply to you here is the link
http://www.essortment.com/lifestyle/fashionbodytyp_skwd.htm
http://petite.about.com/od/styleguide/tp/jeanstips.htm

Also you can get professional help from sales reps in stores about what type of jeans would be best for you and what steps you can take to get jeans your size.

'You should stick to jeans that are low rise, boot cut or straight legged. You can also try jeans that flare to make your legs look longer. Try to find a perfect length that will stop just at the top of your shoes.'

The article below from Associated Content recommends the following brands.

-Gap
-Banana Republic
-Seven
-CK

"All offer petite versions in all their lines, but have well-defined proportions for petite women in particular."

How To Flatter a Petite Figure

Fit is all-important on a petite figure, so shop carefully.

Because you are working with a smaller frame, you do not want to overwhelm your shape with big, bulky or overly embellished clothing.
Streamlined, form fitting clothes make you appear slimmer.

To help elongate and visually lengthen the leg, try a pair of tailored bootleg jeans. Kasil’sChelsea or Tribeca Trouser are two good options for creating a streamlined leg without adding bulk. With many style available in short length, iT jeans is another great brand that offers lower rises in many styles that can work well on petite figures. Always remember that length is one of the easiest things to fix.

I am 4'11 on a good day and I get all my jeans from the Gap they have very flattering jeans for short women. They come in three lengths, adverage, Short and tall and the short fit very well. They have a variety of styles too and they are somewhat affordable.
