The problem is that the Capezio tights are made of nylon. Nylon will sag. You need tights with a blend of spandex. Nylon and spandex or cotton and spandex.
Bal Togs are available in both blends. If you can't find them locally, there are many websites that sell them. My friends like www.nydancewear.com.
As for the painted on look, you need to review my NoUniButt advice. Send me an email and I'll send you a copy.
