Explanation: A pyjama party is just that - a party where people go dressed in their pyjamas!
This could be translated literally into Arabic - حفل البيجاما but 1) this may not be understood by the Arab reader and
2) the more important thing is HOW these girls were behaving - probably in a childish way, throwing pillows at each other etc., so the translation can be freer. So do you have any info on that? In this case it could just be تتصرفان بشكل طفولي or sth like that.
Also, it would be interesting to know that in Egypt for example there's been (apparently) a fashion of organizing "gallabeya parties" which in Arabic is referred to as جلابية بارتي - i.e. it's more of an English construction than an Arabic one, where high-class people would dress up like the "common folk" to celebrate... so maybe a direct transliteration بيجاما بارتي would work too!
