Unfortunately, at her height she's out of the "WSD" size range and it sounds like she needs a short top tube, but even then the set-back maybe weird. I'd find someone who can do a good fitting no matter what brand bikes the shop carries. My own LBS in Davis, CA, would to that for a reasonable cost and then help steer you to whatever brand fit your needs, even if they didn't sell it.

Once you have that info you might be able to use a non-WSD bike with the proper modifications. All women don't need WSD frames.

Of course, she may just not fit any stock geometry from anyone so knowing this sooner rather than later could save you a heck of a lot of time. Or you could find a used custom frame. Get the fit first!
