Average time for a woman's body to develop completely?

Ok so I've been wondering lately if my body has stopped developing specifically if my hips have widened to its final point and if my breasts have stopped growing. I'm 16 years old and still growing but are those parts of my body going to continue to change? And I'd like to know what's the average age for those parts of the body to stop developing. Thanks in advance! :)

I think on average the female body stops growing in height between 16 to 21 but hips can change depending on the factors...weight gain/loss, pregnancy etc...

My best advice is if u are wanting them to stay close to the same as they are now...stay active and exercise if you have no medical reasons not to and set yourself into a lifestyle of health eating habits (not so much "dieting") I wish someone had told me when I was young that the real secret to a healthy body was to start when you were young . Hope this helps

Oh and as for breasts...the same with them...it depends on the changes ur body experiences in some cases...By the time I was 30 I had a G cup I think thats when mine finally stopped growing lol but some people stop much earlier. Try not to worry too much about it now unless it poses a health risk to u. If you are worried because u feel inadequate...there is someone for everyone...you are young and there really is no rush :) I do understand most of us feel that there is at that age though :)
