So when and where did the priest see her for the first time?  at the communion rail?  Not the appropriate time to admonish/instruct/center out anyone on their first time visit.
If you saw her before Mass did you offer her a sweater or ask if she had something to cover with? Or if the young man was a regular, did you take him aside and encourage him to rectify her error?
Not every situation can be resolved to a charitable/satisfactory outcome on sight.
Remember, the bible says to admonish the sinner once,
then admonish the sinner with another witness,
Then take the problem to the priest.

This was a mission mass that occurred monthly in the summertime, so we were basically strangers. And I haven’t been there for too long.  

Have you ever implemented what you are suggesting to me?

Yes I have...quietly in private.  I have no desire to be responsible for her not returning.
Remember there can be many different approaches depending on the offence, circuмstance, age of the other person etc.

That’s not your fault if a woman does not return to the sacraments for such a small reason.

It’s better for such a woman not to be there, she would only drag people down and probably increase her punishment in hell by unworthy reception of the sacraments.

Remember what Pope Pius X said, that lukewarm Catholics were the reason for the evil plaguing the day, which is the same evil of our day: modernism.

If as you say she doesn't return for a small reason because I've handled it badly then yes it is my fault.
You have no idea what the circuмstances were so I'll ignore you arrogance and judgement in the matter.

I thought her advice was fine. And how ironic, you displayed “ignorance and judgement” on the situation I described, assuming that I could have done something.
