I have never had any problem using a light spray of static guard on my dyed silk. Most of the dyes used are fiber reactive meaning they are chemically bonded to the fibers at the molecular level and are not going to run.
You can also try misting lightly with water.
I did run into a problem once using dryer sheets. I fluffed some veils in the dryer with a bounce sheet and got stiff waxy stains on the veils.

I don't want to spray them with anything: I'm afraid that will ruin the dye pattern. One of my friends suggested rubbing them with a Bounce sheet, which I tried. It actually seemed to help, but that could be a figment of my imagination. The whole process seemed a little mystical.
Tips? Suggestions?
