I've worked maybe half a dozen, and just like women in most professions their attire varies: some in jeans, some in a dress.
The mechanic that changed the CV joint on my car last was female, and some some strange reason she always has expensively painted finger nails - and a boiler suit. I can understand the latter...

if you paint the finger nails you cant see the oil and grease under them?

Trouble is that on the internet you have no idea what gender anyone actually is: what they say they are may not even remotely resemble the physical reality.
So while I know there are some female developers here, I have no idea how many - and how many are hiding behind a male name to avoid attention!

Ok, Gryffin, we'll take your word for it

It really comes down to the workplace culture, what level you are at, and of course a person’s preference for what they wear.
Where I work it is acceptable to be more or less casual, for those of us who interface with customers, you had better look professional. This also goes for the managers.
My company has a fairly relaxed atmosphere and there are some developers who still dress business all the time, it’s what they like to wear, most of us, and that includes both men and women, wear pretty much what makes us comfortable, mostly jeans and business casual tops. Our company does draw the line at jeans with holes in them and t-shirts with inappropriate messages.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Nothing to do with subconscious, that is definitely too high settled for me. I just derived some anatomy information from the fact that you can see your feet (assuming the picture is WYSIWYG).
I reckon this is far lees romantic that what you probably expected, but then, I am a software guy...

 I had to read that 3 times before I understood!
If I do understand then I should point out that I was sitting down and leaning forward at the time ... so I think your deductions are rather dubious!

In my experience (US/Canada), the developer dress code has always been ultra-casual. That being said, the women engineers I've worked with have never dressed as shabbily as their male counterparts - who sometimes wear clothes with holes in them.
