About BellaChō
BellaChō sleeves are uniquely crafted to be worn independently, easily sliding up the bicep/tricep area and securely held with elastic. They are available in small, medium, and large sizes. Made from exquisite materials such as Italian linen, French chiffon, and soft American cotton, BellaChō sleeves will enhance any outfit. Imagine this: you go to a professional event in a sleeveless dress with a blazer on top, and when it’s time to relax, you simply take off the jacket and slip on a pair of BellaChō sleeves. In a moment, you’re transformed and ready to enjoy cocktails with friends, all while wearing the same dress but showcasing a fresh new look.
The concept of BellaChō sleeves was born out of a personal journey. One day, I noticed the skin around my bicep/triceps area sagging and wondered when that happened. I immediately took a photo of said sagging skin and sent it to my best friend. I asked her, “When did this start?” She replied with a similar photo, stating, “When this did!” This shared experience led me to create BellaChō sleeves, understanding the needs and concerns of women like me.
I heard the same concern from other close friends of mine. But the most common complaint among similar-age women was the small number of styles in the fashion world that accommodate the changes in women’s bodies. I noticed that I had two choices in fashion: either dress much younger than my age or look like a frumpy old lady. Buying a summer dress or any sleeveless garment was no longer an option, and that’s when I created BellaChō sleeves.
“Terry was born in Chicago to Joseph and Theresa Servidio. At a young age, she demonstrated an artistic talent that she continued to nurture. Terry received a MA in Industrial Organizational Psychology and worked in this discipline for many years. Terry had the opportunity to live in many different countries: Japan, Singapore, Italy, Austria, and France. Her travels exposed her to many different art forms, and thus realized regardless of the numerous aesthetic differences, art is a universal language.
After 26 years of travels, Terry decided it was time to put roots down in her hometown. Back in Chicago, she continued her need to create art and became a commissioned artist. In addition to painting, Terry enjoys creating her new business, or as she calls it “Her passion project”.
In her free time, Terry enjoys spending time with her two adult children and friends. She enjoys playing tennis, practicing yoga, or simply relaxing with a good book and a cup of tea.
Terry is an animal lover, her pets ranged from rats to cats, and from frogs to dogs! She continues to support her local animal shelter. One day she hopes to own a piece of land where she can house many animals while still running her company in peaceful surroundings.”
