Yukata Underwear: Necessity, Or Not? Do you have to wear underwear with yukata?

Under the headings:
1) Are you wearing your yukata as a bathrobe or sleepwear at home or alone in a hotel room?
2) Are you wearing your yukata at an Inn or Onsen spa around other people?
Both of the photos are of ladies wearing yukata with hanhaba obi belts and ohashori folds.
When I started to learn about kimono and yukata and searched on the web (to find resources such as your blog) this is exactly the kind of information that would confuse me. I have seen numerous posts in this forum (not just in this thread) that demonstrate that many people are still confused about how to wear ryokan yukata or don't understand how they are different from the kind of yukata worn at fireworks displays, matsuri, obon and other events and occasion.
Nobody can look as well groomed as the ladies in the photos in the two Q&As from your blog by wearing the kind of short yukata and thin belt supplied by most hotels and ryokan. It took me a while to understand why.
