How to Unlock The Able Sisters Tailor Shop

To unlock The Able Sisters Shop you'll need to speak to Mabel twice. You'll need to have completed the Museum, and Nook's Cranny projects (you'll speak to her first after building these). Later, she'll appear at a stall, speak to her again. This is the point at which we were able to unlock the tailor shop. You won't need to donate any materials, as they will be using some leftover from your construction of Nook's Cranny. Speak to Mabel (she's the Sonic-looking lady who runs the clothing stand) and she will note that you've made the island a lot busier. She will give you a construction kit.

How Long Does the Tailor Shop Take to Build

Once you've laid down some space for The Able Sisters tailor shop to be built, you won't have to wait for very long. It'll be built in 48 hours, meaning you can make full use of its selection.

What Can You Buy at The Able Sisters?

The Able Sisters is a tailor, stocking an expanded collection of fashion items. Much like the general store (more on that here), The Able Sisters will have a regularly rotating selection of stock, as well as a catalogue to shop from. It's worth visiting every day, as there will be cool new clothing items to check out.
