It depends on your figure. Some people have naturally small waists, while others do not. As long as you don't have bulges of fat around your midsection, you are fine.
I am about the same height as you and the same build, and my waist is 23-24 inches. My waist is okay sized (I think), but compared to my mom it is very large, because she has a tiny waist. Everyone has different waists.

You may have a small build, but your bone structure has a lot to do with it. You should not worry about your size. Are you comfortable at your size? Are you healthy?
If you need to check out how healthy you are, get a complete physical and ask the doctor about your waist size. they can better tell you what is appropriate. Good luck!

relies upon on the diaper...sizes have a tendency to over lap and some like huggies and the pampers cruisers have an elastic waistband that stretches appreciably. my son takes a 5 or 6 contained in the pampers infant dry at a million 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous purely because of the particular incontrovertible fact that the tabs dont stretch and could pop off with lots of flow yet can positioned on a length 4 truly conveniently with the huggies or perhaps a three in a pinch.

My mom is 5'0 and 100lbs... she has been like that for more than 30 years...... she wears a 0-1 size jean.... and she looks good.... so for you I am only guessing but I would say anywhere between a 2-6 depending on your build...... also though for your height your weight should be somewhere around 115-125 depending on build, so I am sure you are just fine with whatever size you wear... it is not about pant size, it is about how healthy your weight is for your frame.

Mass is generally mixed pretty evenly between hips and waist, and bone structure is different for everyone. For a good answer, check with a doctor.
However, if you're looking for a good rule of thumb, my physical readiness professor gave one at one point when a girl asked him a similar question about her build.
Stand up straight, heels together, toes together. Now, look down at your thighs. If your thighs don't touch, but just barely brush eachother, then you're you're right on target. This applies to both both health and beauty. Too large, and you're unhealthy and many guys consider it too chubby (although there's definately exceptions), but on the other end, there's too thin its unhealthy (And despite what many girls think, most guys are turned off by a girl who looks like a skeleton with skin.)
Well, there ya go.

Around 24/25ish.
I'm around there.
[edit]
Dream on? It would have been nice if you told me personally instead of publicizing it. This is a picture I took of myself last night [ http://i17.tinypic.com/43wtlyc.jpg ] for this question [ http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=A9FJujKHU3JFo2MB9QTsy6IX?qid=20061201204213AAdF6Ba&show=7#profile-info-5bd4fb224360537e103896b92e1e07c0aa ]. I'm not starving myself, I even said that wearing dark colors with my size isn't sexy. It's not smart or nice to make judgements out of nowehere, child.
If you ever decide to stop hiding behind your ignorant comments and enable e-mail, let me know. I'll re-take my picture with my spirit fingers.

Approximately half your height....so 31.5 inches.
But again, it depends on your build and body shape (i.e. hourglass, top heavy, short-waisted, etc)
Sorry, that's the largest it should be....
