Disadvantages of feather edges (9)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
downsides
'disadvantages' is the definition.
'feather edges' is the wordplay.
'feather' becomes 'down' (down is a kind of feather).
'edges' becomes 'sides' (I've seen this before).
'down'+'sides'='DOWNSIDES'
'of' is the link.
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
