It seems pretty obvious that menstruation and the development of normal secondary sexual characteristics go hand in hand.

If I remember correctly, menstruation is one of the last things to happen in puberty. Breasts do continue to grow and hips to widen (I assume), but they are well along that route by the time menstruation appears.

The timeline of these physical developments varies significantly from individual to individual.

My wife says she had menses from age 13, but didn't develop a figure (i.e. go from an unnoticeable sub-A-cup to a C cup in 6 months) until she was 16.
