Redeeming quality of Miss Darling? (6,5)

I believe the answer is:

saving grace

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'redeeming quality' is the definition.
(a redeeming quality or feature)

'miss darling?' is the wordplay.
'miss' becomes 'saving' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'darling?' becomes 'grace' (Grace Darling saved lives after an s8v8 shipwreck).
'saving'+'grace'='SAVING GRACE'

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for saving grace that I've seen before include "Redeeming quality" , "Compensatory good point" , "a description of Miss Darling?" , "What stops one condemning" , "Redeeming feature" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
