Santini run a bit smaller so and XS in their knicks might fit you better; be prepared for the shorter leg length with Santini though

PI's are ok, but I wouldn't buy them again

If you dont mind spending the money, Pearl Izumi is pretty much the best IMHO, but their sizing is not the smallest, so might pay to try on - but quality will never be a problem, especially with elite/pro series.
Santini make a very good quality bib short and the sizing is about 1 smaller than PI, so suit a smaller person - also they make bib-shorts with a gel pad in the posterior which is arguably more comfortable than the run of the mill chamois.
Cannibal is another brand with smaller sizing, and often make gear for bike shops and local teams etc but not quite up there with the other 2 mentioned.

I have a pair of Skins compression bib nicks that are proper cycle shorts with a decent pad in them. I've worn them on lots of longer rides and they do the job.
