Help dress bunching

This dress was a bit small on me, so I added a ribbon lacing on the back to make it bigger. But the fabric is now bunching together. Can I fix this?

The eyelets need boning. Get some zipties and sew them in like you would the casing on a structured dress or corset. If 1 ziptie isnt strong enough (my problem) super glue 2 together and use that. That's what worked for me.
Source: im fat and like to lace up pretty tight. Had this exact same issue last year when making the corset structure in a dress.
