The Able Sisters is a clothing shop and one of the main stores in the. It is owned and run by Sable and Mabel, and in, the third sister, Label, works in an attachment to the shop that sells accessories and headwear. The original store was owned and ran by the sisters' parents until their deaths when the business was handed over to Sable. Sable was left to look after her younger sister, Mabel. Mabel interacts with customers, while Sable creates patterns.

The main products that the player can purchase from Able Sisters are clothes, including tops, bottoms, headwear, accessories, and umbrellas. In addition, the player is able to try on the clothing before it is bought, and prior to, designs can be created.

In and, the Able Sisters is located in one of the F acres and is open from 8 AM to 11 PM. Inside the shop, unlike in subsequent games, no clothing items are sold. Instead, eight pre-made designs (four displayed on shirts and four displayed on umbrellas) are displayed, which can be taken, replaced, or traded for one of the player's designs. Additionally, the player can speak to Mabel to create custom designs for a fee of 350 Bells. The custom designs can optionally be edited with a Game Boy Advance if a Nintendo GameCube Game Boy Advance Cable is connected. Mabel also allows the player to scan design e-Reader cards, which give the player a unique design.

The Able Sisters in is identical to  in most aspects, including its appearance, selection, and opening hours; however, it is now no longer located next to Tom Nook's store and can appear anywhere in town. Because designs can now be created via the menu, Mabel no longer allows the player to create them; instead, she allows the player to create Pro designs, which have more customization options, for 350 Bells.

In, the Able Sisters appears on Main Street, to the right of the Nooklings' store. It is open from 10 AM to 9 PM and now features an additional room run by Labelle for accessories, which can be accessed either from the main room or from outside. The main room retains the eight designs from previous games and features a selection of two to three tops (one may occasionally be replaced by a dress) and two bottoms. Labelle's room features three pieces of headwear, three accessories, and one umbrella. Like in, Mabel allows the player to create pro designs and save designs, although pro designs now cost 500 Bells. If the player befriends Sable, a sewing machine will eventually appear beside her. This machine allows the player to convert their designs into QR codes, which can be read by the same machine.

After the player lives in town for at least 10 days and spends a total of 8,000 Bells at the Able Sisters, Kicks will open beside it. After Kicks is open for at least ten days, if the player spends a total of 30,000 Bells between it and the Able Sisters, Shampoodle will open above the latter.

If a male player tries out a skirt or a dress, Mabel will act surprised. This behavior is removed in.

The shop is open from 9 AM to 9 PM and sells one each of a dress-up item, top, bottoms, shoes, an accessory, and a headwear item It also offers eight pre-made designs and two complete outfits.
