Have you noticed a change in your weight distribution?

Hi ladies,
I've lost over 50 lbs since I started this weight loss journey. I still have about 25 to go. One thing that I never expected to happen was I lost my butt. Yep, Bubble Butt here is now as flat as a board. And old Thunder Thighs has slimmed down in the hips and thighs. But I haven't lost all that much in the stomach area. I guess with menopause I started piling on the weight in the midsection and bust to match my already large butt, hips and thighs. So I expected that weight to come off first.
When I started gaining weight in the late 90's, pre-menopausal, I didn't get rid of some of my clothes. Formal attire, blue jeans, and sweaters all got put away for when I would lose this weight. Then the years passed and I never got back into those sizes.
As part of my motivation, I want to fit into my wedding dress for our 10th anniversary. Well that was last January and I didn't make it. I'm trying for this January. I'm about 5 lbs heavier than I was then, so I tried on my wedding dress last night while my husband was out. (I want it to be a surprise.) I can't even get it zipped up. My chest is a good 2 inches too big. So I'm wondering with my "new" fat distribution, if I'll need to lose more than 5 lbs to get back into my wedding dress.
Have any of you noticed that at the same weight some things that used to fit don't now? Also have you noticed the size-inflation? What was a size 12 ten or twenty years ago is now a size 6 or 8? No wonder they are now making size 0, 00, and -2.

I have noticed a weight redistribution as well. And omg is that belly fat hard to get rid of or what?!?!?
I think if I were you I would lose the five pounds for the wedding dress and if it still doesn't fit I'd get a good tailor lol0 -
