I know it's really late to reply.. (I'm new and reading all the 
messages) but in many cases in the books, we see characters who've 
been warned of having their robes reveal their knickers or being 
flipped over to reveal underwear. It's my guess that the robes are 
one pieces and at least during the school days have no muggle 
clothing worn underneath.
