There were a lot of full, puffy skirts going on at last night’s CMA Awards in Nashville. Carrie Underwood hosted the event in a peach cocktail dress with a tulle train from Georges Chakra’s fall 2011 collection, while Taylor Swift looked almost bridal J. Mendel. Meanwhile, Natasha Bedingfield performed in a voluminous textured skirt from Christian Siriano’s fall 2011 collection, which she matched with a black tank.

So, with all the competing volume going on, whose skirt wins?
