AIBU to think this woman was being a bitch?

My daughter has recently started basketball. She is not keen on going before the training/games as is shy and nervous but seems to really enjoy it once there so I am pushing her for the moment in the hope she'll get into it.
I arrived at a game this morning and DD was dressed in a borrowed uniform shirt but leggings rather than uniform shorts underneath. (We don't have our own official shirt/shorts yet as they have no stock in the shop as the design in the process of being changed. Coach is totally ok with this).
I suggested she wear her own blue shorts but she is shy wearing shorts and said she wanted to wear leggings , so as she is so reluctant going, I said nothing as just want her to feel comfortable at this point.
I don't feel comfortable around the other parents, they are a bit unfriendly but I am happy once DD is enjoying.
As we arrived, a mother I don't know said loudly (so lots of people including DD could hear) 'oh the poor thing she's going to be roasting would she not wear shorts' .. I just replied 'She doesn't like shorts' and she replied 'yes I just insist mine wear them'..
Was this woman being a bitch? My husband things she wasn't (but men have no sensor for this stuff) so I am just curious!

I might have thought the same but wouldn’t have said it out loud. It was rude and unnecessary of her to voice it so that your daughter heard.

Next time you see her say, ‘oh the poor thing thinking everyone needs to hear her opinion. where are her manners? I insist mine use theirs'.

Yes she was being a big mouth and should be more tactful!
