Childhood friends who swapped law careers for prom dresses open huge Liverpool store

Dress2Party is a specialist formalwear company, founded in London by former lawyers Samantha Cohen, 55, and Vanessa Kenley, 54, with a focus on prom and party dresses. The friends "fell into" the business and initially began with a small shop selling prom dresses.
