This kinda helps my class because my Japanese friend doesn't have a kimono/
If you still need to know, I'd just add an "obi" to the robe (an obi is a long wide sash that's wrapped around and around the waist and diaphragm area).
You could just use that, or add a small pillow or something to the back side:

You could also put a couple of decorative chopsticks or something similar in your hair at an angle to each other, and wear thongs with socks (just push the thong part down into the sock after putting the sock on).
